Care:

Cats Meow thrives in full sun and requires at least six hours of sun each day. It can adapt to different soil types and has moderate water needs. Once established, it is resistant to drought. In warmer climates, it benefits from afternoon shade to avoid extreme heat. In early spring, prune brown stems close to the ground for a neat and refreshed appearance. To promote new growth and repeated blooming, trim flower spikes after initial flowering. When planting, water frequently until the plant is established. Avoid over-fertilizing as it may result in fewer flowers. Plant 18 inches apart and dig a hole twice as wide as the container, backfill with soil, and water regularly. Mulching can help maintain moisture levels.
