Rich, moist, well-drained loamy soil; tolerates clay but requires drainage to prevent root rot
Keep soil consistently moist during growing season, reduce watering in dormancy or winter months
Prefers full sun for best flowering, tolerates partial shade in hot climates, leaf burn possible in intense summer heat indoors
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring; avoid over-fertilizing to prevent leggy growth
Cut back hard after flowering for compact shape; deadhead spent flowers to encourage rebloom
These are the insects and pathogens that commonly interact with this plant, including pests, parasites, and organisms typically associated with its care.
