Light

Full sun for the most flowers; part sun works.

Water

Water weekly the first season; established plants handle dry spells.

Planting and soil

Plant in spring or early fall, crown no more than 1 in. deep.

Feeding

A light balanced feed in spring.

Pruning

Snap off spent flowers and stalks to push rebloom. Clean up leaves in fall.

Through the year

Flowers from June into September in waves.

If something's off

Deer and rabbits eat buds. Highly toxic to cats. Rebloom drops if crowded; divide every 3–4 years.

Plays well with

Plant it with friends.
