Tasks
- Fertilise: Monthly from April to August - Apply compost: In the period from November to December.

Care
- Over time, the soil loses some important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted every two years in spring into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil. - Frozen shoots should be cut back to the healthy wood as soon as there is no longer any risk of frost. - A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time. - Watering less frequently, but thoroughly and thoroughly, encourages the plant roots to penetrate deeper into the soil. This helps the plant to survive periods of drought.

The purple-red, cupped flowers are double and appear from July to September.
