A hardy, prolific rebloomer that brings a deep red hue to the garden. It is exceptionally well-suited to the intense summer sun and high humidity of the Houston metro area. While adaptable to various soil types, it requires well-drained conditions to thrive; it will not tolerate sitting in waterlogged or heavy, saturated clay for extended periods.
Exposure
Full Sun to Partial Shade (6+ hours of sun for best rebloom)
Height x Width
12-18" Height x 12-18" Width
Water
Moderate; prefers regular moisture to sustain blooming cycles, though it is quite drought-tolerant once established.
Zones
4 - 10
Fertilization
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer.
Pruning
Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming. Clean up dead foliage in late winter.
