Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil for optimal growth. Space the plants about 8 to 12 inches apart to allow for air circulation.
2. Watering: Water consistently, especially during dry spells. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again, as overwatering can lead to root rot.
3. Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continual blooming throughout the season. Light pruning can also help maintain a tidy appearance.
4. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding as fall approaches to prepare the plant for cooler temperatures.
