✂️ Care
An easy-to-grow plant in shady environments. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of spectacular ruby-red flowers.
Lightly prune back after flowering to maintain a graceful, arching shape.
Apply an organic-rich mulch around the base to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
