  • Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–10.
  • Season: Continuous and highly productive repeat-bloomer from late spring straight through to the first autumn frosts.

Care Tips

Plant in full sun and well-draining soil, watering deeply at the base to build a strong root system while keeping the dark glossy foliage clean, and prune by one-third in early spring to clear away old wood and stimulate heavy new flower buds.
