Where should I plant the Aphrodite Althea?
Select a location that gets full sunlight and has well-draining soil for best growth. Aphrodite Althea grows and blooms most vigorously when it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Pruning is recommended in late winter or early spring to shape the plant, remove dead wood, and encourage more flowering. Light annual pruning keeps the shrub tidy and vibrant.
