Tips for Care:
This rather low-maintenance plant enjoys being in full sun or partial shade with rich well-drained soil for the best growth possible of about 12 inches tall and 20 inches wide! This rugged perennial does best being watered carefully to establish during its first season but once is established, it’ll be a low-water usage plant – tolerant of high heat and drought. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch around their roots. Carefully prune and clean up any fallen leaves and last year’s seedheads in spring just before the new growth begins to show.
