Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun, in well-drained soil. Provide some light shade in afternoon if grown in the South.

May be trimmed back before blooming to promote a more compact size. Shear after flowering to induce re-bloom. Divide in early summer, if necessary.

Broken stems release a fragrance that tend to attract cats. Leaf scent will deter deer and rabbits.

Water Requirements: Water soil fully, then let soil get moist/dry before watering. (once established)
