Cultural Notes: Very hardy plant, can tolerate a wide range of conditions, although planting in a moist soil that is well drained will provide you with the best performance and promote flowering. Prefers a full sun location as shade will diminish flower production. Frost hardy and drought tolerant, an occasional deep watering during extended dry periods is recommended. Pruning is not needed although cutting off spent flowers will encourage further flowering. If the plant begins to look untidy, simply cut back to ground level after flowering and allow for the plant to regenerate with new foliage.
