Care Guide

• Sunlight: Full to partial sun, 6+ hours daily
• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil amended with compost or manure
• Watering: Keep moist but not soggy; overwatering causes yellowing and wilting
• Mulching: Apply around base to retain moisture, cool roots, and suppress weeds
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to promote continuous flowering
• Fertilizing: Minimal needed in rich soil
• Spacing: Ensure proper air circulation to prevent fungal diseases

For Cut Flowers:

• Harvest when one-third of blooms are open
• Strip lower leaves before placing in clean water
• Change water frequently; flowers continue opening in vase
