It is drought-tolerant and suits borders and containers in a sunny position with well-drained soil.

Hardiness: H5 (−15°C to −10°C). Hardy through most UK winters, including severe cold. Choose a sheltered position in colder or exposed areas; plants in pots are more vulnerable to frost.

Good to Know:
Long flowering season.

Easy to grow in suitable conditions.

Pollinator-friendly.
