Homeowner Growing Tips: Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist soil with average fertility. Too much shade or soil that is too rich will make the habit open and floppy. Cut back after flowering to within 6"-8" inches of the ground to maintain a fuller growth habit. Plant will grow large, but will only need to be divided every 6-8 years.
