Care

Planting & Growing
Highly adaptable, but thrives in organically rich, well-drained soil; grows vigorously in wet soils and tolerates moderate drought. Blooms best in full sun. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Prune back old foliage before new growth emerges in spring.
