Water
Water regularly in the first weeks. Try to avoid watering on sunny afternoons to minimize the amount of moisture lost to evaporation. If your plant is in a pot, check the top soil in the pot either by looking at it or touching it with your finger. In any case, if it hasn't rained in a month, water !
Pruning
Deadhead spent flowers to prevent self-seeding. Can be cut back by half in early summer to avoid the need for staking.
Fertilizer
Grow in moderately fertile, neutral to slightly acid, wet, moist, or moist but well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Will not tolerate full shade. Tends to spread rapidly by creeping rhizomes or self-seeding. Resistant to damage by deer.
