Bold, classic blooms that love the cooler weather! These cottage garden favorites thrive in spring and fall, delivering waves of colorful spikes when temperatures are just right. Easy-care and rewarding

• Thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-draining, compost-amended soil.
• Plant in early spring after last frost or fall for optimal blooms in cooler temperatures.
• Keep soil consistently moist (not waterlogged) with base watering to prevent fungal disease.
• Pinch young plants for bushiness, deadhead regularly for extended flowering, and mulch to maintain moisture and temperature.
• Stake taller varieties for support. Prefer cooler weather and afternoon shade in extreme heat. Susceptible to root rot—ensure excellent drainage.
