General Culture:

Best grown in moderately fertile, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. Prefers rich, moist, organic soils. Plants need good air circulation to combat potential mildew problems. Avoid overhead watering. Intolerant of drought. Appreciates a summer mulch which helps keep roots cool. Remove faded flower clusters to prolong bloom and to prevent unwanted self-seeding (plants do not come true from seed).

Thin, opposite, lance-shaped leaves (to 5" long). A good cut flower. Attractive to butterflies, birds and hummingbirds.
