This beauty thrives in sunny borders and pathways, offering continuous blooms from summer through fall.

Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners® Continuous Release Fertilizer in spring. Grows best in consistently moist, well-drained soil and full sun. Cut back after flowering to encourage them to rebloom in early fall.
