'Coral Magic' is a standout for Houston gardeners, offering a rounded, compact habit that fits smaller urban spaces. It is specifically bred for high resistance to powdery mildew, a common issue in our humid climate. While it can adapt to many soil types, it performs best in loose, well-drained soil. In heavy clay areas, ensure the planting site is amended or elevated to prevent poor drainage during our heavy rain seasons.
