Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, start by planting these in containers that have adequate drainage holes at the base. Use a standard, high-quality potting compost, ideally mixed with a little perlite or grit to improve aeration. When planting, ensure you provide enough space for root development, typically spacing them about 20-25cm apart in window boxes. Water consistently until the plants have established themselves in their new environment; afterward, allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Feed with a liquid fertilizer formulated for flowering plants every two weeks during the growing season to maximize bloom production. Deadheading spent flowers will help the plant direct energy toward producing new buds.
