✂️ Care
Very easy to grow and low-maintenance. Guide the stems onto a support or structure to create an elegant and spectacular vertical cover.
Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous production of vibrant flowers. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a balanced and dense shape.
Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and enrich the soil. Minimal intervention required once the plant is established.
