Maintenance
Prune after flowering to maintain shape, prevent legginess, and encourage new blooms; remove spent flowers to prolong show. Divide every few years if clumps become crowded.
Location
Choose full sun to light shade in a sheltered border or container; use well-drained soil and good air circulation for best growth.

Pair with roses or salvia, deadhead regularly, and watch for mild powdery mildew in humid summers. Drought-tolerant once established.
