Care essentials
Light
Plant in full sun (minimum 6 hours) for best bloom production; afternoon shade is acceptable in NE Florida's intense summer heat. Inadequate light reduces flowering significantly.
Water
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged; containers dry out quickly in Florida heat so check daily in summer. Overwatering causes iron-chlorosis in sandy Florida soils — use acidic, well-draining potting mix.
Soil & Fertilizer
Use a well-draining potting mix amended with compost; apply a controlled-release fertilizer at planting and supplement with a liquid acidic fertilizer monthly. In NE Florida, treat as a cool-season annual (plant Oct–Feb) or a seasonal container plant replaced each season.
