Well-drained, fertile loam. Tolerates poor soil but blooms best in rich earth with good drainage.
Water regularly during establishment. Drought tolerant once mature. Water at base to prevent leaf rust.
Full sun required (6+ hours daily). Insufficient light leads to leggy growth and poor flowering.
Low nitrogen, balanced fertilizer applied in early spring before budding.
Cut back stems after flowering. Deadhead to encourage blooms or allow self-seeding for next year.
