Place the container in a sunny spot and water regularly during dry spells, allowing the top layer of compost to dry out between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to keep the plant tidy and encourage new flowering stems. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. In winter, move containers to a sheltered spot or insulate them to protect the roots from severe or prolonged frost. Every few years, divide the plant in autumn to refresh the compost and maintain its vigour.",
