🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Thorough watering is preferred; keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid wet conditions into the night to prevent fungal issues.
Fertilizer
Requires minimal fertilizer once established; a general-purpose fertilizer applied early in the growing season is sufficient.
Pruning
Prune dramatically in early spring after the danger of frost has passed and before new growth begins. Remove dead or damaged branches and spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
Pests & Diseases
Highly tolerant to rust and powdery mildew.
