✂️ Care
Easy-to-grow plant in a shady environment. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the generous bloom and encourage continuous production of spectacular ruby pink flowers with golden hearts throughout the season.
Lightly cut back after flowering to maintain a compact and bushy shape.
Apply an organic matter-rich mulch at the base to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
