Watering

Regular moderate watering, extra water supply amid prolonged hot dry spells

Fertilizing

Half-strength annual bloom fertilizer biweekly spring to early autumn period

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 softwood cuttings from stems or basal shoots in early summer. Plants can be short-lived so regular propagation is recommended

Growing

Thrives in light, moderately fertile, well drained soil in full sun or light shade; may need support if grown in richer soils (see staking perennials). Shelter from cold winds in areas prone to frosts. May die back to a woody base in cold winters
