This reblooming macrophylla is prized for its compact habit and prolific flowering. While it thrives in the humidity of the Houston metro area, it requires well-drained soil; in areas with heavy clay, we recommend amending with organic matter or planting in raised beds to prevent root rot during our wet springs.
Exposure
Part Shade (Morning sun with protection from intense Houston afternoon heat)
Height x Width
2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide
Water
Consistent moisture; do not allow to dry out completely during summer.
Zones
4 - 9
Fertilization
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and summer.
Pruning
Minimal; remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming on new growth.
