Proven Winners lists a mature height of 24–30 inches, a spread of 18–24 inches, and summer bloom ([Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/11019)). ## Landscape Use The tidy clump suits sunny borders, specimen planting, and cut-flower use. Proven Winners describes it as a long-blooming, easy perennial that attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds and resists deer and rabbits. Its vivid flowers stand above the foliage and add color to mixed perennial plantings. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and well-drained soil. The listed hardiness range is USDA zones 5b–9b, with average water needs. The plant tolerates drought and salt once established; average, fertile, or poor soils and acidic to neutral pH are listed as suitable. ## Maintenance Water regularly while establishing and provide adequate moisture during bloom. Maintain good drainage to protect the roots in winter, and apply mulch in zones 5b and 6. Trim old leaves in spring to encourage healthy new growth.
