I'm doing mine once a day. When it's boiling hot I'd go for morning and evenings.

I give mine 3 jugs of water once per day.

Thanks, I had a feeling once a day. I just wasn't sure with it being a plastic pot.
Thank you, I'm determined to not let these die Grin

I just nipped out and gave mine another jug full because it's been hot today. I'm also determined not to let mine die like last year

As long as it has some drainage, you can hardly over-water it. Be good idea to pinch off the flowers soon as each one has finished, to keep the new ones coming.
