Plant Characteristics

Light: Thrives in full sun or partial sun. In warmer regions, provide partial shade to protect from intense afternoon heat.
Watering: Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, generally allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
Soil: Use rich, well-draining soil, such as a commercial potting mix mixed with perlite or coco coir for better drainage.
Temperature: Prefers cool, temperate conditions. They can tolerate light frost (down to 35 degres) but need protection from heavy freezes
Maintenance & Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more flowers. Cut the entire plant back by one-third to half its size after the first flush to encourage a second, smaller bloom in early spring
