Plant Care🪴

Light:partial sun is ideal. It prefers at least 3 hours of direct sunlight a day to produce abundant blooms.

Watering:Water the plant moderately. It is drought-tolerant once established, so avoid overwatering.

Pruning:Prune back the plant after flowering to promote new growth and prevent legginess.

Fertilizing:Since it thrives in poor soils, only fertilize sparingly, if at all. A light application of a balanced fertilizer in the spring can support blooming, but over-fertilization may reduce flowering
