Sunlight: Thrives in Full Sun. A sunny position helps maintain the brilliant golden foliage and encourages prolific flowering.
Water: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Avoid planting in poorly drained or heavy clay soils.
Frost: Light Frost Hardy. Protect young plants from severe frost, particularly in colder regions.
Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact, bushy shape and encourage fresh, colourful growth. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring to promote healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
