Plant & Care

Plant in well-draining soil in sun to semi-shade, leaving enough space for the plant to develop its attractive bushy habit. Water regularly while establishing, then allow the soil to dry slightly between watering once established. Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser, following the product instructions, to support healthy growth and flowering. Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage further flowering and keep the plant neat. Take care not to overwater, particularly during Cape Town's wetter winter months.
