CUIDADOS
Light: Prefers full sun or partial shade. The more sun it gets, the more intense and prolonged the flowering.
Temperature: Thrives best in warm climates. It doesn’t tolerate frost, and temperatures below 0 °C can be harmful. In cold regions, it only maintains its vigorous growth during summer.
Watering: Tolerates some drought but thrives best with moderate watering, avoiding waterlogged soil. In summer, water whenever the top layer of soil is dry.
Humidity: Adapts to moderately moist soils, as long as they are well-drained. It doesn’t like waterlogged soil.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer (or one rich in phosphorus) in early spring and repeat every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to boost flowering.
Pruning: Light pruning is recommended in late winter or after flowering to control the plant’s size and stimulate new blooms. Removing spent flowers helps prolong the blooming period.
Life cycle: Perennial in mild climates. In regions with cold winters, it loses vigor and can be grown as an annual.
Soil type: Light, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Tolerates slightly neutral to mildly alkaline soils.
Pet Friendly: No evidence of toxicity to domestic animals has been found.
Fun fact: This species blooms almost year-round and is excellent for pollinator gardens, attracting bees and butterflies with its small but abundant flowers.
