✂️ Care
Plant in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil. Stake the stems early in growth to ensure optimal stability against strong winds. Water regularly when planting to encourage root establishment, then maintain moderate moisture.
Apply an organic mulch around the base to maintain consistent moisture and regulate soil temperature. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage prolonged blooming. Light fertilization at the beginning of the season supports vigorous growth.
