Cultivation Guide

Sunlight: Prefers dappled or partial shade. Protect the plant from harsh summer afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.

Soil: Thrives in humus-rich, acidic (pH 5.0 – 6.5), and well-drained soil.

Watering: Requires regular watering; ensure a deep soaking during hot, dry summer periods. Mulching is recommended to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool.

Pruning: Prune immediately after the flowering season ends to maintain shape, control size, and encourage bushy, vigorous growth for the next season.

Hardiness: Protect from prolonged, severe frosts and cold, dry winds.
