🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations

• Soil & Site: Choose well-draining, fertile soil in a sunny spot.

• Watering: Water regularly until established; after that, standard watering is usually sufficient, especially in moderate climates.

• Maintenance: Light spring cleanup to shape as needed. Dead-heading spent blooms encourages fresh flushes, but Tequila® is forgiving even with minimal care.

• Support: None needed — its mounding habit stays elegant without staking or trellising.
