✂️ Care

Extremely easy to grow and very low maintenance. Plant in full sun to enjoy abundant blooming with delicate pale yellow flowers and a characteristic light, airy habit.

Regularly remove faded flowers to extend blooming until the first frosts and stimulate continuous production of new flowers. Light pruning in spring maintains a compact and balanced shape.

Apply a light mulch at the base to optimize drainage and gradually enrich the soil. Once well established, this variety requires very little maintenance, proving self-sufficient and remarkably resilient in difficult conditions.
