Planting and Care Tips

Plant

Cut a 4-6" stem and trim off the bottom 3" of leaves. Dip cutting in rooting hormone and plant in soil and keep in a warm area indoors out of direct light for 4-6 weeks until the root system is established and the cutting is ready to be transplanted.

Feed

Fertilize once per year in spring to promote the brightest colored flowers. Use a balanced, slow release fertilizer

Water

Water deeply 1 - 2 times per week when newly planted. Once established, watering is only needed in periods of severe drought.

Prune

Prune after blooming is over to control size and shape. It is important to prune right after flowers have bloomed because flowers form on old wood.

Exposure

Full, Partial
