Blooming season: Spring to summer, though in warmer climates, it may bloom intermittently throughout the year.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun if provided with enough moisture.
Soil: Well-draining, acidic soil with a pH between 5.0 and 6.5. Ample organic matter is beneficial.
