Maintenance Notes: 

Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun conditions. Once established, plants are typically drought tolerant and heat tolerant, making them ideal for warm climates and low-maintenance gardens.

Deadheading spent blooms can help encourage reblooming and promote a longer flowering season. Later in the season, allowing some flowers to mature can provide a valuable food source for birds, as the developing seeds attract wildlife.

This combination of heat tolerance, drought resistance, and wildlife value makes it a great choice for landscape beds, pollinator gardens, and container plantings.
