Caritas like high light and warm temperatures to improve flowering and plant quality. Avoid overwatering on young plants. Plants can be double pinched for large containers, but this will delay flowering. Avoid Florel Sprays since burning can occur.
The perfect choice for big and bold color that thrives through the heat of summer.
Big blooms and upright habits make Carita the perfect thriller for summer combos.
Carita's heat and drought tolerance make it an ideal choice for warm season landscape plantings.
