Darwin lists it for full sun, with a mounded habit, medium water needs, and USDA hardiness zones 5a–9b. The breeder also notes heat tolerance and low maintenance, making it useful for a long season of color in suitable climates. ## Growing Conditions Give UpTick Cream & Red full sun and well-drained soil, and water moderately rather than keeping the root zone saturated. The breeder lists medium water needs, so water moderately and adjust to local soil and weather. It reports bees and butterflies as visitors and identifies the selection as deer resistant and heat tolerant. ## Maintenance Ball Seed also notes its continuous bloom and tidy habit. Remove spent stems as the season ends and check the plant periodically for pests or disease. Keep its name and denomination ‘Balupteamed’ distinct from the separately named UpTick Cream selection.
