Rich, well-drained loamy soil. Neutral to slightly alkaline pH (7-8). Avoid heavy clay.
Regular watering during active growth and bloom season. Allow topsoil to dry between waterings. Reduce significantly after foliage dies back.
Full sun required for best flowering. Tolerates light shade in hot climates but may reduce blooms.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before shoots appear. Avoid high nitrogen which favors leaves over flowers.
Cut stems to ground level in late autumn or winter after frost kills foliage.
