Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants.

Propagation

Propagate by seed or root stem tip cuttings

Growing

Grow outdoors in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Protect from excessive winter wet and shelter from cold winds. Keep roots moist and cool. Grow indoors in loam based potting compost in bright light, but with shading from full sun from late spring until autumn
