Plant in a full sun to a partial sun location with well drained soil. It can tolerate drought conditions. A fast grower.

Beautiful large flowers of white, rose, lavender and pink bloom all summer long. The plant can reach a height of 26". Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, too.

Great for zones 3 - 8.
