Since this variety has a compact habit with a spread of 6-8 inches, you should space them about 6 to 8 inches apart. This allows for proper airflow while still creating a dense, full look in garden beds.

Yes, the Obsession Twister series is known for being free-flowering. As an annual, it is bred to provide continuous color throughout the growing season until the first frost.
