Here is all I know:  
•Full sun  
•Prone to overwatering and under watering. Keep top inch of the soil moist  
•Fertilize monthly on a all purpose 20-20-20 fertilizer  
•Use well draining soil  
• Thrive best in 69-80 degrees Fahrenheit

Deadhead, I would recommend a bloom booster fertilizer. I use on all flowering plants. Middle fertilizer number is phosphorus which promotes flowering, this number should be the largest percentage
