Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Shrub
Sunlight: Full Sun to Semi-Shade. Flowering is most prolific in full sun, although afternoon shade is beneficial in very hot climates.
Water: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, keep the soil evenly moist, especially during prolonged dry periods.
Spacing: Plant 1.5–2m apart to allow each shrub to develop its naturally rounded growth habit.
Frost: Light Frost Tolerant. Light frosts may damage the foliage and young stems, but established plants usually recover with fresh growth in spring. Protect young plants from severe frosts.
Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to encourage a bushier plant and continuous flowering throughout the growing season.
