Choose a location with plenty of sunlight for the best flowering, and water regularly while the plants establish their roots. Once established, they can tolerate periods of dry weather, but avoid keeping the soil constantly soggy. In colder climates, grow them in containers and move them to a protected indoor location during winter. Allow the plants to acclimate after shipping before making major changes to their growing conditions.
