Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: Plant after the danger of frost has passed. May be planted in any well-drained soil. 1. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. 2. Set the plant in place so the crown (where the root meets the stem) is level with the soil surface. 3. Cover with soil to original soil surface. Water thoroughly. No fertilizer required. If desired, apply a thin layer of compost around the base of the plant in the spring. In early spring, prune dead stems. Remove spent flower to encourage new blooms.

Pests or Diseases: Susceptible to aphids, powdery mildew, rust, and stem rot
