Growing in Alabama
Grow in full sun in well-drained garden soil or potting mix. Water consistently during establishment, then avoid keeping the soil constantly soggy. Removing fading flowers encourages a tidier plant and more blooms. In Alabama’s humid summers, leave room for air circulation and avoid excessive fertilizer, which can promote leaves at the expense of flowers.
Size: Approximately 10–12 inches tall and 6–8 inches wide as listed. Uses: Sunny borders, mass plantings, and containers. Grow as a warm-season annual, not a winter-hardy perennial.
