✂️ 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 prolong the blooming period and encourage continuous production of new blooms. A light trim in spring maintains a balanced and compact shape.

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