A stunning plant best grown in moist,
well-drained soil. Do not allow to dry out. It has
a bushy and upright habit. Shear plants back about
50% half-way through the season, and plants will
reflower in 2 to 3 weeks. Fertilize heavily
monthly, or lightly with each watering. Watch for
aphids and powdery mildew.
