🌿 Care Guide
Watering
1-2 inches per week; water at the base to avoid wet foliage and discourage disease.
Fertilizer
Fertilize yearly after each bloom cycle once new growth reaches 4-5 inches; stop feeding before winter.
Pruning
Prune dramatically in early spring after frost danger has passed and before new growth begins; remove spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
Pests & Diseases
Generally resistant, but avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues.
