Care Tips:
Care Tips:
Plant in full sun for the best flowering performance.
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil and water regularly, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Fertilize every 1–2 weeks during the growing season to encourage continuous blooming.
Remove faded flowers periodically to keep plants looking tidy and promote additional blooms.
Provide adequate spacing to encourage good air circulation and reduce disease pressure.
