Troubleshooting
Poor flowering or sparse blooms
Ensure the plant is receiving full sun and is planted in fertile, well-drained soil. Lack of sun is the most common cause of reduced flowering.
Wilting leaves
Check soil moisture. The plant may need watering, especially during dry spells or if recently planted. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging.
Leggy or overgrown growth
Prune lightly in summer after flowering to maintain a more compact shape. For significant overgrowth, consider a harder prune in late winter before new growth begins.
Yellowing leaves
This can indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the plant is not sitting in waterlogged soil. It may also suggest a nutrient deficiency; consider a spring feed.
