✂️ Care

Extremely easy to grow and very low-maintenance. Plant in full sun for optimal flowering and a compact, vigorous habit.

Regularly remove spent flowers to extend the blooming period and stimulate continuous production of new flowers. Light pruning in spring maintains a balanced and compact silhouette.

Apply a light mulch at the base to optimize drainage and gradually enrich the soil. Once well-established, the plant requires minimal intervention and is very self-sufficient.
