Planting:

Set plants in sun, spacing 18 to 24 inches apart; for best effect, plant in masses. Light, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil of moderate fertility is preferred.

Keep soil moist during flowering period. Stake taller plants as needed. Remove faded flower spikes to encourage a second flowering.

Zones 3-10
