LOCATION
Full sun. USDA Hardiness Zones 6 to 9; AHS Heat Zones 10 to 4.

Striking garden accent at back of border, center of island garden, or hedge. Excellent cut flower.

CULTURE
Not fussy about soil type. Requires adequate, but not abundant moisture during rapid growth in early summer. Cut back hard, low to ground, in early spring. May self-sow in very mild climates. Remove seedlings promptly to prevent spread.
