Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, especially when young or during dry spells. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Cut back stems to encourage bushier growth and abundant flowering. Remove any dead or damaged wood.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seedlings may not come true to parent type.
Container-grown plants benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
