Care Tips

Plant in full morning sun with a fertile, exceptionally well-draining soil mix. This variety grows vigorously up to 120–200 cm, but its stems can be brittle; shield it from harsh winds and handle gently if training vertically. Water deeply directly at the root zone to keep its delicate, dense petals completely dry. Prune cleanly in early spring to shape the plant and fuel its rapid, multi-season blooming waves.
