Hardy to zones 4-8, it is an easy to maintain perennial. Plant this in partial to full sun, ensuring it has at least 4 hours of sunlight each day. This will thrive whether your soil quality is poor, average or fertile. Neutral or slightly alkaline soil will provide the necessary nutrients to encourage great growth and beautiful blooms.

After blooming is finished for the season, simply trim below the spent blooms. This allows new growth to flourish for the next season.
