Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Shorten last year's flowering stems to one or two buds from the older woody framework. Remove thin, weak and dead shoots. Prune in early to mid-spring as growth resumes; avoid winter pruning that exposes new shoots to frost.

Propagation

Propagate by seed, semi-hardwood or softwood cuttings

Growing

Grow in a sheltered spot, in moist fertile soil in full sun or light shade. In colder areas, protect from cold drying winds, and provide a deep winter mulch. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushier growth and more flowers
