• Maintenance: Low-maintenance – prune the shrub back in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth. Deadheading spent flowers can also help promote more blooms.
• Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering during the growing season will ensure the plant stays healthy and vibrant.
