HOW TO GROW
Plant mid-spring or early summer after the last chance of frost. Use well-drained soil and plant in hanging baskets, small containers, or landscape borders. Water regularly to keep flowers from cycling out of color, but avoid soggy conditions. In-ground plantings do well with continuous-release fertilizers, but containers will prefer water-soluble fertilizers. Trim back 20% if crowding occurs between other plants or to encourage new flowers and better branding.
