Care Instructions

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Position bare root buds approximately 2 inches below the soil surface. Grow in full sun for the best flowering, although afternoon shade is beneficial in warmer climates. Water regularly during establishment and during dry periods. Large blooms may benefit from staking. Remove spent flowers after blooming and cut foliage back after frost in autumn.
