Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Does best in regions with mild winters, avoid overhead watering and ensure good air circulation. Plants can be cut back to the ground during fall cleanup and deadheading encourages further blooming. Plants can be divided every 2-4 years in spring or late summer/early fall.
