Light
Full sun. In shade it stops blooming and gets sparse.
Water
Water weekly until established, then only when dry. Never let it sit wet.
Planting
Plant in spring or early fall in gritty, well-drained soil with the crown slightly high.
Bright color and real fragrance in a plant small enough for any sunny edge.
