Best grown in full sun in well-drained soil. Water regularly while young to encourage a strong taproot. Once established, plants are quite drought tolerant and need only occasional watering during prolonged hot, dry spells. Allow the soil to dry between waterings and avoid overly rich or consistently moist conditions. Give support if growing in an exposed position. Allow flowers to mature and set seed if you would like them to self-sow.
