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 in containers in a cold frame in spring or by softwood cuttings in summer

Growing

Under glass grow in loam-based potting compost in full light with good ventilation and shade from hot sun. Water freely in summer and keep just moist in winter. Can be grown outdoors in a sheltered site
