Colorful masses of scarlet-red flowers come to life on gorgeous deep green foliage from summer through fall. Vigorous, self-branching habit.
Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Does well in loamy, clay soils with good drainage. Benefits from a slow release fertilizer. Overly fertile soils tend to produce lush foliage growth at the expense of flowering with somewhat increased susceptibility to winter injury. Water roots deeply, particularly in dry spells, but avoid wetting the foliage. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
