Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Grows best in full sun and an average to moist soil. Needs good air circulation to limit mildew issues and prevent the lower leaves from dropping. Pinch back 1/3 of the foliage twice before early summer, to maintain shape and foliage vigour. May require staking. Excellent for naturalizing open areas along railroads, roadsides and waste areas.
