Care
Plant in full sun. Place approximately 16 inches apart in well-drained soil.
Water regularly but do not over-water. This plant can do well in drought conditions.
Prune to a height of approximately 2 inches, in the early summer, just as the flowers appear. This will keep the plant from falling open later in the season. Cut above where new buds are forming.
Divide every few years, in the spring or fall, to maintain the beauty and vitality of the plant.
