Planting guide

Plant in spring using a free-draining, loam-based compost. Grow in a container so it can be moved indoors before the first frosts. Position in bright, indirect light for best flowering.

Care tips

Water regularly during the growing season but allow compost to dry slightly between waterings. Feed every two weeks in spring and summer and lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape.

Winter care

Protect from frost as this plant is not hardy outdoors in the UK. Grow in a conservatory, greenhouse or bring containers indoors over winter. Reduce watering slightly in colder conditions.
