Growing Notes

• Keep plants cool, evenly moist and out of harsh midday sun.
• Use rich, free-draining potting mix or well-prepared garden soil.
• Avoid waterlogged conditions, as consistently soggy soil can cause root and crown problems.
• Deadhead spent flowers to keep plants tidy and encourage a longer display.
• Treat as a seasonal cool-weather annual in most South African gardens.
