Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers average to organically rich, well-drained soil with medium moisture and full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soils, heat and drought once established. Avoid poorly-drained, wet soil. Deadheading encourages prolonged blooming and prevents any unwanted self-seeding. Plants can be divided in spring.
