Tips for success
Keep me thriving
Light suitability: Full Sun to Part Shade (4+ hours of direct sun). Consider local heat, wind and seasonal shade, and follow any more specific advice on the plant label.
I have medium maintenance needs and benefit from regular attention. Remove damaged material with clean tools, maintain an open and healthy shape, and refresh the mulch when needed without piling it against the stem.
Pruning: Medium sized, upright, evergreen shrub, with vibrant blooms Long Flowering Prune to maintain a bushy shape and remove weak or crowded growth.
Flowering: I am known to flower throughout the year. Seasonal conditions can shift the timing and intensity of the display. Observe the plant rather than pruning by the calendar alone, particularly while buds or flowers are forming.
Watering: Check the soil at root depth regularly and water deeply when it begins to dry. I prefer even moisture without constantly saturated roots. Check more often during establishment and in hot, dry or windy weather.
