How to Care for the Plant

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.
