Know before you buy
You will receive two bareroot plants, one yellow and one magenta. Bareroots are dormant, root-only plants that establish quickly once planted in the ground or a container.
No, this variety is self-cleaning. It is specifically bred to rebloom throughout the summer without the need for manual deadheading.
Because of their compact size, these plants are excellent for containers. Just ensure your pot has good drainage and receives full sun.
This blend is hardy in zones 4 through 9. As long as your garden falls within these zones, the plants are durable enough to handle local temperature extremes.
The vibrant blooms attract bees and butterflies during the summer months. In the fall, the remaining seed cones provide a food source for birds.
They thrive in full sun and require soil that is moist but well-drained. Avoid planting them in areas where water tends to pool, as this can lead to root issues.
