Care Guide

light_mode
Light
Full sun is essential; requires 6–8 hours of direct sunlight for prolific blooming. Flowers open in response to morning light.
water_drop
Water
Water moderately during the growing season; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Drought-tolerant once established. Reduce watering after flowering.
compost
Soil
Well-draining soil of moderate to low fertility. Rich soil promotes excessive foliage at the expense of flowers. Sandy or loamy soil is ideal.
science
Fertiliser
Apply dilute balanced fertilizer or low-nitrogen fertilizer monthly. Avoid over-fertilizing, which reduces flowering. Phosphorus-rich fertilizer encourages blooms.
