Your care routine
Watering
Keep evenly moist during growth; never leave roots standing in water.
Soil & drainage
Well-drained potting mix for containers; fertile, freely draining soil in garden beds.
Fertilizer
Use balanced liquid flower fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth at the product label rate; stop when dormant.
Temperature
Prefers cool growing weather; shelter fresh greenhouse plants from hard frost and avoid prolonged summer heat.
Humidity
Outdoor humidity is suitable; allow airflow and avoid prolonged wet foliage.
Through the seasons
In Metro Vancouver, winter drainage matters even for this hardy plant; protect exposed containers during severe freezes. Cultivar and site affect survival.
When your plant needs help
- Slugs on young leaves
