Watering

Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

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 in any season.

Growing

Will grow well in moist but well-drained fertile soil in a sheltered , partially shaded position. Can be grown in containers but will need high nitrogen feed and potash during flowering periods.
