I found this to be a particularly fussy plant in our hot and dry summer conditions. Out of approximately ten specimens transplanted into different areas of my gardens, only one survived to bloom stage. The lone survivor was planted in a light but moisture-retentive substrate made up primarily of composted horse manure, with its roots shaded by other plants.

Great cut flower.
