Prune only after new growth emerges in spring. Cut back to just above a set of large, healthy buds.

Growing Tips 

Plant in full sun for best flowering. Deadheading not required for continuous bloom. In clay soils, plant a bit higher than ground level to divert moisture away from the center of the plant.
