Care Difficulty
Light: Requires full sun. Maximum sunlight exposure and summer heat are critical for abundant flowering. Watering: Needs regular watering while establishing. Once mature, it has good drought tolerance, though consistent moisture enhances blooming. Soil: Highly adaptable to various soil types, but thrives best in fertile, well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Temperature & Pruning: Heat-loving and moderately cold-hardy once established. Blooms on new wood; prune in late winter or early spring to encourage vigorous flowering growth.
