(zone 9b) We have a large bed of the red and orange varieties in the backyard. It grows well and the flowers last in water for up two two weeks or more when cut when they are just staring to open. We have found that they do tend to spread and that they benefit from being cut down (mowed) to remove old growth every other year. They also attract butterflies and bees.
