Pinch out the tips of dominant new shoots to encourage branching. Many are now available year-round with clusters of pink, yellow, orange, red or white blossoms. When added to your plant collection, they often resume the winter through spring blooming habits. Plant as accents in container gardens for the home and patio. Also use as annual color in flower beds or cluster along walkways.
Most gardeners add the plants to the compost pile when they start to decline.
