Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Best grown in full sun to partial shade, and in a moist to average soil. Relatively easy to grow and will adapt to a wide range of conditions including drought and summer heat. To keep a more compact habit and more bloom count, trim 1/2 back in mid-May or one month before blooming season.
