Plant your ‘Party Time’ in well-draining soil in full to partial sun for the brightest colors. Water regularly, especially during hot weather, but avoid waterlogging. It thrives in warm temperatures and appreciates occasional feeding during the growing season. Even novice gardeners will appreciate how easy it is to keep this plant looking lush and colorful.
