This very drought tolerant species prefers full sun and will thrive in moist to dry soils. Prompt deadheading of spent flowers may encourage additional bloom and prevents any unwanted self-seeding. Freely self-seeds, and in optimum growing conditions will naturalize to form large colonies. If grown in borders, division may be needed every 2-3 years to maintain robustness. Taller plants may need to be staked. Attracts bees, butterflies and birds. Food source for caterpillars.
