Ideal for mixed container gardens or solely in a patio pot. Can also be planted en masse in-ground. Feed with a slow-release 14-14-14 granular fertilizer every three months. Cold sensitive, so protect when temperatures drop to the mid 40's. Prune back periodically to promote new growth and flowers.
