Soil & Light Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. Providing ample sunlight and ensuring good drainage are key for optimal growth and flowering.
Care Instructions: Requires minimal maintenance once established. Regular watering during dry periods helps keep the plant hydrated, but it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage additional blooms and prolong the flowering period. Applying mulch around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds.

Planting & Maintenance:
Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container. Space multiple plants about 12 to 15 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and during dry periods to help establish the plant. Once established, it requires less frequent watering. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and maintain the plant’s appearance. Prune back in late fall or early spring to remove any dead or damaged foliage and promote healthy new growth.
