Space plants about 12-18 inches apart and keep well watered through the first full season while roots establish. Plant in full sun.
- 💧 Care & Watering: Water low: water deeply but infrequently once established. Mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, and feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring; deadhead spent blooms through the season to encourage rebloom.
