Professional Growing Information I planted five of these in front of my mailbox. We typically have very dry summers and plants that live by our road need to be able to tolerate some abuse. These have performed beautifully, blooming well into October. In my area they seem to prefer some neglect, so it's nice I don't have to baby them to keep them looking nice.
