- Maintenance: Remove any dead or damaged branches throughout the growing season. In colder regions, protect the plant from frost by covering it with a blanket or tarp.
- Pruning: In fall or after the plant has finished blooming, remove any spent flowers or seed pods. Cut back the branches by one-third to one-half to prepare the plant for winter.
