White

Light Requirements: Prefers partial shade to full shade. While it can tolerate full sun, especially in cooler climates, it thrives best in dappled sunlight or light shade. In hotter climates, providing afternoon shade can help prevent leaf scorch.

Soil Requirements: Thrives in moist, well-draining, acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.5-7.0). Incorporating organic matter such as compost or leaf mold can improve soil fertility and structure. It can tolerate various soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay soils, as long as they are well-draining.

Watering: Requires regular watering, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to ensure the root zone is adequately hydrated. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Temperature and Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 6-9. Prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It is adaptable to various climates within its hardiness zones but should be protected from extreme cold and heat.

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

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the plant. Light pruning helps maintain a tidy appearance and promotes better air circulation. Remove any suckers that emerge at the base of the plant to maintain its shape.

Pests and Problems: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot. If pests are detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Regularly inspect the plant for any signs of disease or pest infestation.
