Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny location. This plant can also be planted inside a container but will need plenty of room for roots to spread for optimal growth.
2. Watering: Water deeply and regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the active growing season.
3. Fertilizing: For robust growth, fertilize four times a year, positioning the slow-release product ten inches from the base, as these plants are heavy feeders and may grow slower without fertilization.
4. Pruning: Prune by removing dead or damaged leaves and spent flower stalks to maintain an attractive appearance.
