Sun Requirements ▾
Prefers full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, some afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch.
Watering Instructions ▾
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during dry spells.
Care Tips ▾
Soil: Grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.5).
