Culture Notes
Division of the clump can be done in the spring and stem cuttings can be taken in the summer. If plants are not grown in the full sun, they will need staking. Dead heading the spent flowers may encourage a longer blooming period. Seeds can be gathered and sown in the fall. Plants serve as butterfly nectar sources.
