This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Due to its low water needs, it is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for rock gardens or xeriscaping. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage a longer blooming period and prevent self-seeding if unwanted.
