Care & maintenance

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-draining soils. While tolerant of a wide range of soils, it prefers fertile, moist loams. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and encourage new growth. Deadheading spent blooms can promote additional flowering, though it's not strictly necessary for a good show.
