Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers average, medium moisture, well-drained soil. Grows well in full sun and tolerates some afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Propagate plants by division and/or re-seeding. Cut back spent flowers to prevent any unwanted re-seeding if desired. Ensure good drainage and air flow around the plants to prevent center die out and other issues.
