pink turk's-cap

Pink turk's-cap will need regular watering, preferably 3 times a week or more. Water the soil until it is saturated and allow it to drain until the top inch or 2 of soil is dry. Never allow it to sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. The amount of water depends on the conditions such as sunlight, temperature, and humidity; during the summer months when it's hotter and drier, you may need to water more often.

Pink Turk’s-cap (Malvaviscus drummondii ‘Pam Puryear’) can thrive in both full sun and partial shade. It prefers 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, though it can survive in less. Ideal sunlight conditions can vary depending on the environment it is planted in and the season. During the summer, plants may benefit from 4 to 6 hours of sunlight in the morning, followed by afternoon shade or filtered sunlight. In winter, plants should receive full sun to help warm them and promote flowering.

Pink turk's-cap plants should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. These plants respond well to a moderate amount of pruning, and should be cut back to 1-third of their original height. This gentle pruning encourages the growth of many branches and flowers and produces a fuller, more attractive plant.
