    Soil/Water Needs: Prefers loamy, well-draining soil. Will tolerate other soil types, but must drain well. Drought tolerant once established. Some summer water will keep plants vigorous and promote better blooming.
    Maintenance: Cut back spent flower stems after blooming to keep plants tidy. Cut back in fall to maintain shape. They need ample space as they do not like to compete with other plants in the garden.
