The plant has an upright habit and works as a container thriller, in borders, or in groups across a sunny landscape. It tolerates heat and drought once established and is listed as deer resistant. ## Growing conditions Provide full sun to part sun and well-drained soil. The species grows in clay, loam and sand, prefers moist conditions, and tolerates dry clay. Mature plants are about 14–24 inches tall with a 12–16 inch spread.
