• Hardy and rustic: Tolerant of cold temperatures (generally down to -10°C or lower if well protected), and suitable for various types of soil as long as they are well-drained.
• Low maintenance: Requires relatively simple care; light pruning, adequate exposure, and regular watering during dry periods.

Growing tips

• Location: Full sun or partial shade; more light = brighter foliage and more abundant flowering.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile; avoid standing water, which can damage the roots.
• Watering: Regular during the warm season; let it dry slightly between waterings; reduce in winter.
• Pruning: Light. Remove dead or damaged branches in spring; after flowering, a few branches can be shortened to encourage reflowering.
• Winter protection: In colder regions, place it in a location sheltered from wind and frost; mulching at the base can help.
