They like well drained soil. Mulching will keep the roots moist.But too much water on the leaves can cause disease.
Don't over-fertilize.Too much will create more leaves and less flowers!
New varieties are mildew resistant.
Deadhead the flowers during the blooming period so that your plant will get bushy and produce more blooms.
