✂️ Care

Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Plant in full sun for spectacular blooms with warm, spicy hues and vigorous growth.

Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of new flowers. Light pruning in spring promotes dense branching and a balanced silhouette.

Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and gradually enrich the soil. Once well established, the plant requires very little maintenance and is very self-sufficient and resilient.
