Cultivation requirements of a million U.S.

Location and soil

• Position: It grows best in full sun, which is conducive to abundant flowering. It tolerates light partial shade, but the flowers will be less numerous.
• Soil: Fertile, well-drained, moderately moist. It likes neutral or slightly acidic soils. It does not tolerate waterlogged soils.

Watering and fertilizing

• Watering: Moderate – tolerates periodic droughts well, but young plants require regular irrigation.
• Fertilization: In spring, it is worth feeding the plant with a compound fertilizer that supports flowering.

Care

• Trimming: It requires annual pruning in early spring to encourage the growth of new shoots on which flowers form.
• Supports: It requires solid supports (e.g. pergolas, trellises, gazebos), as heavy shoots can weaken more delicate structures over time.
• Wintering: Fully frost resistant in warmer regions of Polish (zone 6–9). In colder places, young plants should be protected for the winter with a mound of bark or straw.
