✂️ Care
Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of bright pink and cherry red flowers.
Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact and bushy shape.
Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
