Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Flowering Standard
Sunlight: Thrives in Full Sun. Plant in a position that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily to encourage abundant flowering.
Water: Water regularly while establishing. Once established, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, as mild drought stress encourages heavier flowering. Avoid overwatering.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Incorporate compost when planting and avoid areas where water collects around the roots.
Frost: Light Frost Sensitive. Protect young plants from heavy frost, especially in colder regions.
Maintenance: Prune lightly after each flowering flush to maintain the canopy shape and encourage repeat blooming. Feed with a high-potassium fertiliser during spring and summer for the best flower display.
