Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Prefers fertile soils. Good drainage is essential. Wet soils in winter can be fatal. Tolerates some light shade, particularly in hot summer climates. Remove spent flower heads to promote additional bloom. A less floriferous late summer to early fall bloom may occur. Divide clumps as needed (every 2-3 years) to maintain vigor.
