How to prune Evergreen

I kept them in pots all summer (as I bought them) and they bloomed very nicely. Very bright and cheerful flowers.
But ..... when you buy them from garden centers the flowers come from greenhouses where they have a controlled climate.
I planted them in the ground in the middle of autumn, so this year I can't say how well they grow and bloom in the natural environment.

I'll keep you posted next year

Advise: Regular deadheading by cutting wilted flowers down to the next set of leaves, is a simple way to encourage continued blooming throughout the season.

Pests: Aphids may be a problem.
Diseases: May be subject to a downy mildew and verticillium wilt.
