Deadhead spent blooms regularly to redirect energy to new flowers.
Use Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) once or twice during the growing season to support strong stems and vibrant color.
Rotate your plant slightly each year to ensure even sun exposure.
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged for steady growth.
Give older plants a deep prune every 4–5 years to rejuvenate them.
