Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Best performance in full sun for optimal foliage color and flowering. Tolerates light shade but may have less vibrant color. Pruning in late winter or early spring just before new growth appears will encourage a compact shape and more prolific flowering. Deadheading spent flowers after blooming can promote additional blooms.
