#ProPlantTips for Care:
This robust beauty grows well in well-drained soil and alongside other varieties of flowers. Provide your new plants with moderate moisture, for best performance. Like most natives, this plant will thrive in your yard and will have low-moisture needs once established. or best results and the most blooms, supply supplemental moisture during drought and a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the entire root system.
Deadhead spent flowers to keep the blooms returning until frost. In the autumn, prune away the dead leaves to remove any potential fungal issues that were present or to prevent self-seeding where not desired. But if you do wish for spring surprises and free winter bird-seed, wait to prune until spring just before you see new growth emerge. Divide clumps every 3-5 years to keep the mounds growing vigorously.
In some locations, it may thrive a little "too well". We take the worry out of the experience when you choose plants from Nature Hills. We use Plant Sentry™ to ensure we follow all local, state, and federal agricultural regulations for plants that can become invasive in your area.
