CARE REQUIREMENTS
SUNLIGHT: Thrives best in full sun (6+ hours daily), though it tolerates partial shade.

WATERING: Keep soil moderately moist; water deeply during dry spells once established, avoiding waterlogged roots.
PRUNING: Light pruning after the flowering season encourages bushier growth and more abundant blooms.
