Plant Care
Water
Soak deeply when the top 2 inches of soil feel completely dry. Water 2–3 times a week for the first month to establish roots. Once mature, reduce watering to once a week, or only during hot, dry spells. Containers: Check daily; pots dry fast and need watering every 1–2 days in mid-summer. Always avoid overwatering, as soggy roots will cause the plant to rot.
Fertilizer
Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer only once per year in early spring as new growth emerges.
Pruning
Deadheading: Cut off faded flower stems down to the next lateral leaf bud throughout summer. This forces the plant to continuously pump out new flowers.Late Autumn: Cut the entire plant back to about 2 to 3 inches above the soil line after the first hard frost kills the foliage.Early Spring: Clean away any dead, blackened leaves left over from winter to make room for fresh green shoots.
Seasons of Interest
Summer
Blooms continuously with massive 5-inch white flowers from early summer through late summer.
Fall
Blooms can linger into early fall. After the first hard frost, the foliage provides a clear signal for clean-up when it dies back.
Winter
The plant remains dormant underground during winter and pushes fresh green foliage in early spring.
