Growing Tips

Water young plants while they are establishing, but avoid overly wet conditions. Once established, this variety is drought resistant and grows well in sunny, free-draining soil.

For dried flowers, cut stems just before the flowers are fully open. Hang them upside down in a dry, dark and airy room to help preserve their beautiful deep pink colour.
