Watering

Keep compost lightly moist, never fully drying out while blooming

Fertilizing

Weak flowering feed every two to three weeks in active bloom

Pruning

Pinch out growing tips to produce a bushier plant. Cut back in summer for a second flush of flowering, alternatively trim off spent flowers to promote continuous flowering

Propagation

Propagate by seed and softwood cuttings in spring or late summer

Growing

Will grow well in moist but well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil in full sun. Partial afternoon shade will make flowers last longer. If growing in containers add one application of slow release fertilizer to encourage steadier performance. Overwinter in a greenhouse or in a frost free environment
