Growing Tips

Deadheading not necessary for continuous bloom. Plants will "bury their dead" (new flowers will quickly cover old flowers) so no deadheading necessary.

An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.

The spoon shape of the flower petals is partially dependent on temperature. Like most spoon shaped flowers the petals may revert to "normal" petals when temperatures, especially night temperatures, get too warm.
