It is an extremely reliable, producing flowers consistently every year, from summer to early fall, in zones 5 to 9.

It is also ideal for a large planter or pot. It grows well from full sun to partial shade, and the blooms last for weeks and weeks, arching over in an elegant way as they age.

This hardy plant requires no special care, just trim the spend flower stems back to the first pair of healthy buds, and remove any dead, weak or damaged wood in spring.
