Plant it in full sun for the best flowering. Give it sharply drained soil; sandy, gravelly, and rocky sites are ideal. If your soil holds water, improve drainage or plant on a slight mound. Once established, it handles dry spells well and also tolerates coastal conditions and moderate salt exposure when drainage is good.

To keep the plant looking fresh, shear or clip off faded flower stems periodically. Light trimming encourages new buds and keeps the mound neat. Avoid heavy feeding; average to lean soils are fine. Water new plantings regularly until roots are established, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings.

Pair this long-blooming perennial with other sun lovers that appreciate good drainage. Its fine-textured foliage looks great around boulders, along edging, or mixed with compact grasses and low sedums. Pollinators, including butterflies, often visit the blooms throughout the season.
