Growing tips

• Exposure: absolutely full sun. This is key for abundant flowering.
• Soil: very well-drained. Essential to prevent root rot. In pots, ensure there's a drainage hole and add a layer of clay pebbles or gravel at the bottom if desired.
• Watering: water only when the top layer of soil is dry to the touch. Avoid letting roots sit in water and don't wet the flowers when watering (pour water directly onto the soil).
• Fertilizing: a flowering plant fertilizer can be applied periodically during the summer to support blooming.
