Green Thumb Guide

Grows well in a variety of well draining soils. Plant in an area that will receive cooler summer weather, and afternoon shade. Trim back stems after bloom to encourage denser growth. Feed in spring before bloom, and in summer after flowers are spent with an all purpose fertilizer.
