✂️ Long-Lasting Cut Flowers: Stems can be picked for indoor vase arrangements, maintaining fresh petal quality for up to two weeks

Care & Maintenance

• Light: Position where it receives at least 4 to 6 hours of daylight. In extremely hot garden beds, light afternoon shade helps maintain rich blossom colour and petal longevity.
• Watering: Water thoroughly at the base of the plant to keep the root zone evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain away freely. Avoid waterlogged soil.
• Feeding: Apply a potassium-rich liquid flowering fertilizer every 3 to 4 weeks during the active spring and summer blooming periods to support heavy bud production.
• Grooming: To stimulate continuous new flowering stems, gently pull or twist spent stems from the base of the crown rather than cutting them off, which prompts the rhizome to produce fresh shoots.
