✂️ Care

Very easy to grow and low-maintenance, this dwarf perennial adapts to most conditions. Its ultra-compact, bushy habit creates a generous silhouette, ideal for filling borders, rock gardens, and flowerbeds without the need for regular pruning.

Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous and prolonged blooming. Lightly prune in spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain its bushy shape and vigor.
