[Syngenta Flowers]( https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70007885 ) ## Placement Plant it in a sunny border or container, allowing its upright habit to stand out among lower annuals. The Maverick series is described as vigorous and free-flowering, with large flowers and strong garden performance. ## Maintenance Provide well-drained soil and moderate moisture. Container plants may dry between waterings, but avoid prolonged drought during active growth.
