Bloom from almost the beginning of spring (April) to the beginning of Fall (November). When the plant loses all of its flowers and leaves, it goes dormant in the winter. Be sure to take the plant inside if there are extremely cold or freezing temperatures. No water is necessary while it is dormant. When the weather begins to warm up again, (60F) put it back outside where it will receive morning or afternoon sunlight, and water twice a week and fertilize once a week with a water soluable solution, (such as Miracle Grow). The leaves and flowers will then grow back where they had previously grown. ENJOY!!!
