Keep this plant blooming in full sun (6-8 hours) to part shade (4-6 hours).

Water well to establish the first year or until the roots get anchored in the ground. Keep watered each week consistently or during a drought.

Average humidity between 50-60% is best for this plant.

This plant can tolerate a brief time below 40°F but not for long. It's best to keep this plant in mild frost-free climates.

This plant will bloom from summer into fall if located in the sun.

Apply a balanced fertilizer on your plant in the early spring and then in late fall. If she is growing in a pot, fertilize monthly.

When receiving the plant, give it a week to acclimate to the location before planting outdoors. To transplant into a garden bed, water the plant the night before. When planting, ensure the soil is well-draining. Add soil amendments like compost to lighten it. Check the soil pH and ensure it is slightly alkaline to acidic (5.6-7.5 pH). Dig the hole twice as wide as the grower pot and at the same depth (not deeper). Remove the plant from the grower pot and center it in the hole. Add rooting hormone around the base of the roots. Water in the hole before covering with soil and let drain. Then add organic compost mixed with the native soil and fill around the plant and up to the top of its soil line. Tamp down around the roots to remove any air pockets. Water again around the drip line, then mulch up to the plant's drip line to help retain moisture. Keep her soil moist as she gets established.

If this plant starts looking leggy, trim it back in the early spring or late winter and shape naturally with pruners.

Stem cutting: To propagate, prune 6-8 inch stem cuttings with no buds or bloom from the parent plant. Remove leaves on 1/3 of the bottom half of the stem with pruners. (Do not tear off.) Dip the ends in root hormone (mixed in water at a paste consistency) and place 1-2 inches down in damp, well-draining, moist potting soil mix and tamp down around the stem to secure it. Use a 2-3 inch container with drainage and is deep enough for the roots to grow. Mist inside a clear plastic bag to create moisture and humidity and place the bag over the top of the plantings loosely. There is no need to tie off the bag but allow a little airflow under and into the planting pot. Set it in bright, indirect sunlight while they are rooting. Check the moisture and humidity each day and add misting to the soil (not the leaves) while the roots establish. After 4-6 weeks, roots will begin to form. You can tug onto the stem to ensure the roots establish after new growth begins. Transplant to the garden after the roots are mature.
