✂️ Care

Extremely easy to grow and very undemanding. Simply guide the stems onto a support or structure to create spectacular vertical coverage.

Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming period and stimulate continuous production of new flowers. A light pruning after flowering maintains a balanced and compact silhouette.

Apply a light mulch at the base to optimize drainage and gradually enrich the soil. Once well established, the plant requires minimal intervention and is very self-sufficient.
