✂️ Care
Easy to grow in a shaded environment. Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong the generous bloom and encourage continuous production of delicate, deep pink flowers throughout the season.
Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a slender and graceful shape.
Apply an organic mulch at the base to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention is required once the plant is established.
