• No deadheading required
• Water regularly (allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings)
• Fertilize monthly during the growing season (use a balanced, water soluble fertilizer)
• Grown for foliage
• Heat tolerant
• Protect from frost (bring indoors or treat as annual in Zone 3)
• Excellent for containers or as a focal point in garden beds
