✂️ Care

Very easy to grow. Pinch stems in early summer to encourage dense branching and abundant flowering. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong the blooming period.

Apply an organic mulch around the base to maintain consistent moisture and regulate soil temperature. Light fertilization in early spring supports vigorous growth and generous blooms.

Discreet staking may be helpful in very windy areas.
