✂️ Care
Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Guide the stems onto a support or structure to create a spectacular vertical display.
Regularly remove spent flowers to extend the blooming period and encourage continuous production of large, vibrant blooms. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a balanced and dense shape.
Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
