Cutting-grown: healthier, hardier, earlier blooms, true to variety. Buy from reputable growers.
Both. Pinch 1" stems for bushiness; deadhead faded blooms to stem for rebloom in days.
Moist soil—check often, water thoroughly when dry. Water at base, not over leaves, for prettier, longer-lasting blooms.
Weekly Miracle-Gro or similar, label dilution.
Under/over-watering. Check drainage. Full sun but don't let dry in summer heat. Remove yellow leaves; monitor closely.
