This plant does great in the garden in glaring sun. It gives a great first bloom completely covering itself with blossoms. When dead headed it gives a second bloom though not as covered as the first round. However I have found the rabbits love to eat the blooms of this one. They have completely eaten every blossom of the repeat blooms. But this plant isn't giving up without a fight and I noticed it is trying to bloom again. Nice compact rounded form also. Although I noticed it doesn't like to be kept too wet during the winter months. Must be protected.
