Growing Guide
Position
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position where it will receive plenty of direct sunlight. A warm location encourages the best flowering.
Watering
Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry periods, particularly when grown in containers. Ensure excess water drains away freely.
Soil
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil. In containers, use a quality compost with good drainage and avoid allowing plants to sit in water.
Seasonal Care
Remove faded flower stems after flowering and leave the foliage in place until it naturally dies back. This allows the plant to store energy for the following growing season.
