Yes, it is known to attract various pollinators to the garden, which supports a healthy ecosystem.
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate direct sunlight and check if the soil is too dry.

For the best results, plant your 'Midnight Martini' in a location that receives full sun to encourage optimal color development. The soil must be well-drained and kept consistently moist; avoid heavy clays that hold standing water, as this can damage the roots. When planting in a container, use a high-quality potting mix with added drainage material. During the first growing season, monitor soil moisture levels closely, especially during dry spells. Minimal pruning is required, but you can trim the tips lightly in early spring to maintain a desired shape or to encourage bushier, denser growth. No specialized fertilizers are required, but a balanced liquid feed in spring can support vibrant new foliage.
