✂️ Care
Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of vibrant magenta pink flowers.
Lightly prune back after flowering to maintain a compact and upright shape.
Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
