Care
- Regular watering in summer is particularly important. Morning or evening is the best time for this. Watering should also be done slowly and, if possible, not over the flowers and leaves. - Many bedding and balcony plants have high to very high nutrient requirements. For this reason, slow-release fertiliser should be mixed into the potting soil when planting. After 4-6 weeks, top up with liquid fertiliser regularly. - Excess water must be able to drain away easily and waterlogging should be avoided at all costs.

Flower
The pink-coloured flowers appear from June to October.
