Care Considerations: | Can benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Mulching can also help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. A low-release, low-phosphorus fertiliser can be applied to encourage growth and flowering. Pruning after flowering can help maintain the desired shape and promote bushier growth. |
