Well-draining sandy soil, low phosphorus, high drainage essential to prevent rhizome rot.
Drought tolerant once established. Water regularly in summer, reduce significantly in winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Full sun required for flowering. Tolerates partial shade but blooms significantly less in low light.
Apply low-nitrogen fertilizer during active growth (Spring/Summer). Avoid over-fertilizing which promotes foliage over flowers.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Cut back foliage after flowering if grown as annual or in cold climates.
