- Watering: Water deeply and consistently during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and help regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain its natural, bushy form without disrupting bloom production
