I grew these in part sun, good soil, little summer water for a couple of seasons. They bloomed profusely for a long period and were absolutely stunning, living up to their name. They seem to have died during our recent hard winter. I miss them and might have to plant more. It is worth it to grow them as an annual even if they are not fully hardy.
