Setup, Compatibility & Care

Acclimatization: Gradually introduce the plants to outdoor conditions over a 7 to 10-day period before final planting.
Planting: Choose a sunny, sheltered site with well-drained soil to prevent root rot.
Ongoing Care: Water regularly during the first few weeks, then reduce as the plant establishes. Feed with a balanced fertilizer and remove faded flowers (deadheading) frequently to stimulate continuous blooming through October.
