Care:
To encourage continuous blooming, it is important to deadhead the faded flowers regularly. This involves removing the spent flower heads by cutting them back to a healthy bud or leaf node. Deadheading not only promotes new flower growth but also prevents the plant from self-seeding and potentially becoming invasive.
