Care tips
This plant thrives in full sun for abundant flowering, although it tolerates some partial shade in very hot climates. It requires regular watering to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, as this can promote foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
