Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers average to rich, medium moisture, loamy, well-drained soil and full sun. Tolerates light shade especially in hot summer climates and a wide range of soils. Remove faded flowers to encourage further blooming. Pruning can be done in late winter to early spring or right after flowering if needed. Plants can be aggressive self-seeders and will spread by suckering. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer.
