Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help protect the foliage's vibrant color.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is required, but you can shape it in early spring after the blooms fade. Remove any dead or damaged branches to encourage new growth.

Fertilization: Apply a slow-release fertilizer designed for acid-loving plants in early spring to promote vibrant foliage and flowers.

Winter Care: Hardy in USDA zones 7–10, Daybreak's Flame can handle light frosts. Mulch around the base in colder regions to protect the roots.
