Plant it in full sun or part shade as a colorful mid-border clump; the listed width leaves room for nearby plants without making it a large shrub-like mass. The breeder also notes that bees and butterflies visit the flowers. ## Growing conditions Use average, well-drained garden soil and provide average moisture while the plant establishes. Proven Winners describes the selection as drought tolerant once established and deer resistant, useful traits for a sunny mixed border without implying that newly planted specimens need no irrigation. ## Maintenance Water through the first growing season and during extended dry periods while roots develop. Remove spent stems to keep the display tidy or encourage another flush; retain a few seed heads if winter structure is wanted. Leave enough space for the clump to develop and divide only if it becomes crowded.
