Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location: Full sun for best blooms, although they can tolerate light shade.
- Soil: Well-drained soil. They are adaptable to a range of soil types but prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH.
- Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden in late spring or early summer, or plant nursery-grown seedlings. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart.
- Watering: Water regularly to establish, then they are relatively drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering.
- Maintenance:Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Cut back in late fall or early spring to clean up dead stems. Divide clumps every 3-4 years if necessary.
