✂️ Care
Plant in partial shade in rich, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil to intensify the pink to red flower color. Water regularly during planting to promote rooting, then maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season.
Prune in spring before new growth to maintain an upright shape and encourage generous flowering. Apply an organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Perfect for small gardens, structured borders, and landscape designs, this variety offers prolonged flowering and remarkable visual interest with regular maintenance once established.
