✂️ Maintenance
Light pruning in spring promotes compact and dense growth. Removing spent flowers extends the blooming period and keeps the plant tidy.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; this plant appreciates constant humidity, especially during its growing period. Organic mulch helps retain moisture and enriches the soil.
Ideal for shaded gardens, undergrowth, border edges, and woodland plantings.
