Feature in a mass planting for a full and leafy look or include in mixed beds or borders for a splash of color and texture.

Plants will not bloom as much when grown in partial shade, but the leafy texture will brighten up the area. Water this beauty when the soil begins to dry out.
Apply balanced fertilizer during the spring to encourage new growth. Cut back after flowering is complete.
