✂️ Care
An easy plant to grow in shady environments. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage a continuous production of spectacular soft pink flowers.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a graceful, arching shape.
Apply an organic-rich mulch at the base to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
