Cultivation method:
Prefers full sun. Incorporate leaf mold or compost into the planting hole at the time of planting.
It dislikes transplanting, so plant or repot when the plant is small.
Transplanting large plants with a spread of 30cm or more is difficult and may result in failure to establish and death.
Fertilize at the base with slow-release fertilizer in May, August, and December.
Prune immediately after flowering, from mid-April to mid-May. Remove spent flowers at their base.
It is also acceptable to prune unnecessary branches to shape the plant during this period.
Flower buds differentiate in July for the following year, so avoid pruning after this time. Also, severe pruning can cause death, so prune lightly.
It can be propagated by cuttings. Immediately after flowering, remove spent flowers, cut branches to 6-9cm, and take cuttings. Keep in a shaded area, being careful not to let them dry out. Overwinter with frost protection and repot around April.
