Low water requirements. Once established, quite dry tolerant requiring only occasional long soaks during extended periods of heat.
Low maintenance and easy to grow. Pruning generally not required although removing spent flower heads encourages more profuse flowering. Apply a slow release fertiliser during early spring for optimum performance.
