✂️ Care
Plant in full sun or partial shade in rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Water regularly at planting to encourage rooting, then maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season.
Prune in spring before new growth to maintain a compact shape and promote abundant flowering. Apply an organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Perfect for flower beds, flowering hedges, and contemporary gardens, it provides dramatic color, texture, and prolonged interest with minimal maintenance once established.
