This is a great plant, the butterflies love it! You must deadhead to get a good amount of repeated bloom. Watch when pruining, usually just below the spent bloom is a node on each side of the same stem with a new flowerbud on each side. Be careful not to cut them off. I have heard that if you take them down to about 18" in the spring that they will bloom better, I have not tried that yet.
