Planting & Care

Plant within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart for mature size. Water regularly until roots establish, then allow soil to dry between waterings since the plant becomes drought-resilient over time. In late fall, remove spent flower heads for a neat appearance and to encourage vigorous spring regrowth. Early spring is ideal for trimming any lanky growth to promote a bushier plant form. A light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring is optional but supports exceptional blooming throughout the season.
