    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    This perennial is tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soils. Amending soils, especially very heavy and light types, with generous amounts of organic matter will result in improved performance. Although tolerant of part shade, it will flower better in full sun. Deadheading will promote additional blooms.
