Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers full sun to light shade and average to fertile, well drained soil. Deadhead plants to encourage additional blooming.  Plants tend to be short lived, however; they often self seed which gives the impression of a long lived perennial. If you want self seeding, allow a few flowers at the end of the season go to seed.
