First, I presume it's in a good sized pot. If it isn't, transplant it into a pot at least 12" diameter and the same deep. You need John Innes No 2 or similar compost. After that it's easy, just water it when it doesn't rain (don't drown it but make sure the compost gets nice and moist), give it a bit of liquid feed once a month from April to October and dead-head regularly to keep it flowering.
Oh ******!! Help!! Its in a 5" (ish) pot and think it needs dead heading

Any volunteers to help me re-pot and show me what to do???
