This fireweed variety is relatively low-maintenance. Plant in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Water moderately, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. It can spread, so give it adequate space or consider planting it where its spread is desirable. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage reblooming.
