More heat tolerant than older varieties, it will still do best with cool night temperatures.
- Grows up 18-36 in. tall (45-90 cm) and 12-20 in. wide (30-50 cm).
- Thrives in full sun in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Light shade is tolerated, specifically in hot summer areas.
- Excellent choice for beds and borders, city gardens, coastal gardens,cottage gardens, Mediterranean gardens or containers.
- An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
- Deadheading not necessary.
