Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun, or partial shade in hot southern climates, in well-drained, preferably sandy soil. Tolerant of many soil types, except wet & heavy soils. Cut back as flowers fade to encourage rebloom. Cut spent foliage to the ground in late winter. Divide in spring, if needed.
