How to grow:

Easy-to-grow, thriving in hot, sunny conditions and poor soil, they are highly drought-tolerant. If you’re looking for a pop of color in a dull spot- this low maintenance plant is for you.

 

Give it 6-8 hours of full sun and keep pinching off spent blooms at the stem and you’ll have longer stems regrow with tons of blooms all summer. They get so big you'll want to contain them somehow. I use a round cage around them so the stems don't flop over as much.
