Its red-to-peach flowering creates a warm focal color in the garden through summer. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Proven Winners lists USDA zones 6a–9b, average water needs, and acidic to neutral pH; the plant also tolerates drought and salt once established. Average, fertile, or poor soils are listed as suitable. Early, mid, and late summer are given as bloom periods. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment and provide adequate moisture while flowering. Keep the crown in well-drained soil, especially through winter. In the colder part of its listed range, use a protective mulch and trim older foliage in spring.
