✂️ Maintenance
Easy to grow in shady environments. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong generous blooming and encourage continuous production of spectacular magenta-pink flowers throughout the season.
Lightly prune back after flowering to maintain a compact and bushy shape.
Apply an organic-rich mulch around the base to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
