Provide average, well-drained soil. Takes part shade in hot climates; may be leggy in heavy shade. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; prefers regular moisture but tolerates periodic drought. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a neat, upright mounded shape.
