✂️ Care
Easy to grow plant in shady environments. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong generous blooming and encourage continuous production of pure white, delicate flowers throughout the season.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a slender and graceful shape.
Apply a mulch rich in organic matter at the base to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
