✂️ Care
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage prolonged blooming and maintain an elegant shape. This compact variety is particularly robust and requires little maintenance once established.
Water moderately during the growing season, especially in dry periods. Optimal soil drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Divide clumps every three to four years to revitalize the plant and promote better flowering.
