Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. For optimal growth and flowering, ensure the plant receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. It can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.

Soil Requirements: Thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Amend the soil with organic matter such as compost to improve fertility and drainage. It can tolerate poor soils but performs best in rich, well-draining conditions.

Watering: Requires moderate watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to ensure the root zone is adequately hydrated. Once established, it can tolerate some drought but performs best with regular watering during dry periods.

Temperature and Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 7-9. Prefers moderate to warm temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It is adaptable to various climates within its hardiness zones.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. An annual application of compost or well-rotted manure can enhance soil fertility. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.

Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the plant. Light pruning helps maintain a tidy appearance and promotes denser growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.

Pests and Problems: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract aphids and spider mites. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew. If pests are detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
