✂️ Care
Hardy and easy to grow plant in shaded environments. Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong the delicate bloom and encourage continuous flower production throughout the season.
Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact and balanced silhouette.
Apply an organic-rich mulch at the base to retain soil moisture and enrich the soil. Once established, the plant requires little maintenance.
