Care Instructions
Water regularly during the first growing season; after establishment, the plant becomes drought-tolerant. Prune only to remove dense or crossing branches to maintain health and shape. Deadheading spent blooms in summer encourages a second and third flush of flowers. Apply a light organic fertilizer once or twice a year to boost growth.
