✂️ Care
Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of vibrant flowers.
Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact 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.
