  • Minimal feeding needed. A light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring can boost blooms.
  • Avoid excess nitrogen, which can cause weak, floppy stems.

  • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
  • Cut back old stems in late winter or early spring to promote fresh new growth.
