• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms. Additionally, trim back the plant in late winter or early spring to promote bushier growth.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to provide the necessary nutrients for the growing season.

• Winter Care: In regions with cold winters, consider mulching around the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost.
