Growing Conditions & Care

• Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade; full sun is best for heavy flowering.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining loamy soil with a neutral pH (~6.5).
• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist; water regularly but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
• Sowing: Direct sow seeds on the soil surface, pressing lightly as they require light to germinate. Optimal night temperatures for sowing are 20–25°C.
• Maintenance: Low-maintenance. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season
