This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun with regular, moderate watering and good drainage. As a tender perennial grown as a warm-season annual, Crazytunia Black Mamba performs best when planted after the last frost date and blooms continuously until frost. Regular feeding with a balanced, bloom-boosting fertilizer maintains vigorous growth and prolific flower production. Mature height reaches 10–14 inches with a spread of 18–24 inches. Occasional light trimming encourages fresh branching and sustained flowering through the growing season.
