Care & maintenance
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. Prune back in late winter or early spring to 12-18 inches from the ground to promote strong new growth and abundant flowering. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder zones.
