Light Requirements: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight is ideal for optimal growth and flowering.
Soil Preferences: Prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter; slightly acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.5 is ideal.
Watering Needs: Requires consistent moisture, especially during establishment; avoid over-watering to prevent root rot.
Fertilization: Adding compost to the soil can provide necessary nutrients; a balanced liquid fertilizer can be applied monthly during the growing season for additional support.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed; if desired, prune in early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or diseased branches.
Winter Care: Mulch around the base helps retain moisture and protect roots during colder months.
