Watering

Soil & drainage

Freely draining neutral to alkaline soil; avoid heavy, persistently wet ground.

Fertilizer

Use a modest spring feed if growth is weak, following the product label; avoid excessive nitrogen.

Temperature

An outdoor perennial; choose a locally suitable winter site and protect containers from prolonged root freezing.

Humidity

Through the seasons

Deadhead through the flowering period and lightly trim after flowering. Check drainage before the wet winter season.

When your plant needs help

  • Waterlogged soil can damage roots; check drainage before watering again.
  • Inspect new growth and leaf undersides for pests and isolate affected plants.

Pets & little ones
