💡 Care Tip: Gently separate the plants if they arrive together in one bag, taking care not to disturb the roots. Plant them in well-draining soil and water thoroughly after planting. Provide full sun for the strongest growth and best flowering. Keep the soil moderately moist while the young plants establish, then gradually reduce watering as they become more drought tolerant. Some temporary wilting or minor leaf stress after shipping is normal and should improve once the plants are established.
