Care essentials
Light
Plant in full sun to part shade; in NE Florida's mild winters, a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade helps extend the bloom season and prevents premature heat stress.
Water
Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; this plant naturally occurs near water and will not tolerate drying out. Water regularly through the cool season bloom period.
Soil & Fertilizer
Prefers organically rich, moist, well-drained loam with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amend sandy NE Florida soils with compost. Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4–6 weeks during the cool season.
