#ProPlantTips for Care:
This 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.
- Best Color & Strongest Stems in Full Sun
- Moderate to Low Soil Moisture Once Established
- Nearly Any Very Well-Drained Soil Type
- Prune Back Early Spring
- Drought Tolerant & Deer Resistant
