Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Plant in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in partial shade. This species tolerates both full sun and full shade. Consistent moisture is a must in full sun to prevent leaf scorch, whereas fewer flowers may develop in dense shade. Naturally found on prairies, near wood margins, in meadows, along roadsides, or in waste areas.
