Seasonal Care
Stop feeding to allow growth to harden off before winter; remove any diseased leaves from the ground.
Feed as new growth starts and prune to an outward-facing bud to shape the plant.
Water deeply at the base to avoid wetting foliage, and deadhead to encourage repeat flowering.
Fully dormant; mound soil or mulch around the base in cold climates to protect the graft union.
