Its long-lasting flowers attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees, making it ideal for borders, garden beds, and container plantings that benefit from continuous seasonal color. Care Needs:• Light: Full sun• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and maintain tidy habit• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote steady flowering
