Watering Needs:

Let dry between waterings

• Light: Thrives in full sun (6+ hours daily) for maximum flowering.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil; dislikes heavy, wet soils.
• Watering:
  • New Plants: Water deeply 1-2 times per week until established.
  • Established Plants: Highly drought-tolerant—occasional deep watering is enough.
• Fertilization:
  • Minimal feeding needed. A light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring can boost blooms.
  • Avoid excess nitrogen, which can reduce flowering and cause floppy stems.
• Maintenance:
  • Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering.
  • Cut back old foliage in late fall or early spring for fresh new growth.
• Pest & Disease Resistance:
  • Highly deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Rarely affected by pests, but good airflow prevents powdery mildew.
• Hardiness: Thrives in USDA zones 6-9—perfect for warm, dry climates.
