Planted 20 or so in my butterfly-bee-hummingbird garden this spring, and the critters just love them. They are in partial sun, and I water them less frequently than I do the rest of the garden. They are still flowering and growing, almost too well--some are over 3' tall and falling over from the weight. I've been dead-heading them all summer, so perhaps that's why they branched out so much and taken on extra weight.

Some have self-sown. Since the bees are still flocking to them, I'm unsure as to whether or not I should trim all back.
