Consistent moisture required during growing season; water deeply once or twice weekly depending on heat, reduce in winter dormancy.
Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch; tolerates full shade in hot climates.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before blooming. Avoid high nitrogen to prevent excessive foliage growth over flowers.
