Yes, it is hardy in zones 5 through 9 and can withstand temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a reliable perennial in most climates.
While it is a continuous bloomer, you can encourage even more profuse flowering by trimming back the spent stems. This practice helps the plant focus its energy on producing new buds throughout the season.
