Easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade (and appreciates some afternoon shade in the deep South), but tends to flop and require support if grown in too much shade. Soils should not be allowed to dry out.
Tall flower spikes provide a strong accent and good vertical height for borders, cottage gardens or wild gardens.
