✂️ Maintenance

Remove spent flowers daily to encourage continuous production of new blooms. A light pruning of the stems after the main flowering period maintains a neat silhouette and encourages a second wave of blooms.

Lightly mulch around the base to retain moisture and gradually enrich the soil. Once well established, this variety requires very little intervention and tolerates dry conditions well.
