Período de floración
Guía de cuidados
Place in full sun in a warm, sheltered spot in well-drained soil. Water moderately in summer and sparingly in winter. Not hardy in cool climates — overwinter in a cool, bright, frost-free spot (5-10°C). Avoid lime-rich fertilisers.
Consejos de poda
Prune immediately after flowering by shortening the flowering branches by a third. This encourages new blooms and keeps the plant compact. Do not cut into old, bare wood — the plant recovers poorly. Remove dead and crossing branches.
