Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun to light shade in well-drained, fertile soil. Amend with compost before planting. Good drainage in winter is essential. Roots can not be in soggy or waterlogged soil, will otherwise develop root rot.

Deadhead after blooming. In cold climates, mulch for the winter.

Water Requirements: Water soil fully, then let moderately dry out before next watering.
