About this plant
A large and exotic-looking bloom. The flowers have rounded faces and silken petals that are coloured white but with a bright reddish-pink ring near the base. The colour rays into the white surround. Its heart is large and packed with enticing black stamens. Its exotic appearance is intriguing but it can be grown out of doors in warm and sunny places. It is often grown under glass to protect the flowers. This is spring-flowering.

Apply a deep protective mulch
Provide a deep protective mulch in autumn, spreading it around the plant and covering it to give it both nutrients and some protection against the weather.
A mulch is a covering that can: protect the soil surface from rain, heat and cold; deter weeds; provide nutrients. Organic indicates that material has vegetative origin e.g. manure, compost. Synthetics i.e. plastics, or stones are often called mulches.

Spring-Summer · Outdoors
Water during drought
Water plants in the ground regularly after a period of drought if still in growth (prefer to be dry when dormant). Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Summer
Summer - early · Outdoors
Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
