Key Features
- Compact Size: Typically grows to a height of 20-30 cm (8-12 inches), making it ideal for small spaces and container gardening.

Planting Instructions
- Seed Preparation: Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to enhance germination.
- Sowing: Fill seed trays or pots with a well-draining seed starting mix. Sow the seeds on the surface and cover lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite.
- Watering: Mist the soil gently to moisten it without waterlogging. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
- Germination: Place the trays or pots in a warm location with indirect sunlight. Maintain a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F). Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks.
- Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or a garden bed with well-draining soil. Space plants 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) apart.
- Care: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods. Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Prune to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Ensure at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering.
- Soil: Thrives in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases; water at the base of the plant.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Pruning: Regularly remove dead or faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Prune in early spring to shape the plant and remove any damaged or diseased wood.
