General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for optimal flowering.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; incorporating organic matter helps maintain moisture and encourages healthy growth.
- Watering: Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season to support continuous blooming and sturdy clump formation.
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch slightly away from the plant for proper airflow.
- Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering to keep the shrub tidy and to stimulate a fresh, abundant bloom the following season.
