Light:

Thrives in partial shade to filtered sunlight. Morning sun and afternoon shade are ideal to prevent wilting.

Water:

Maintain consistent soil moisture. Provide deep watering to ensure the root ball stays hydrated.

Soil:

Plant in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Soil pH influences flower color—acidic soil for blue blooms, alkaline soil for pink blooms.

Fertilizers:

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring. Adjust soil pH with amendments for desired flower color.

Temperature:

Prefers moderate temperatures. Protect from harsh afternoon sun and frost.

Pruning:

Prune after flowering to shape and remove spent blooms. Avoid pruning late summer or fall to prevent removing next year's flower buds.

Pest and Diseases:

Generally hardy, but susceptible to aphids and fungal issues. Treat pests with insecticidal soap and use fungicides preventively.

Treatments:

Monitor for pests regularly. Apply treatments as needed. Provide winter protection in colder climates.
