Perennial.

CONTAINER SSIZE

One plant per 24-inch or larger

container.

We recommend having your soil tested periodically by

your local County Extension Office (www.nifa.usda.gov/

extension or by calling 1-800-333-4636). A soil test can

determine if your soil needs any amendments to enhance

the growth and performance of your plants.

Ideal garden soil is easy to dig in and drains well while still

holding the nutrients and water vital to plant growth. To

prepare a bed for in-ground planting, spade or till the soil

to a depth of roughly 12-18 inches. Next, spread a 2-4 inch

layer of organic matter such as compost, shredded leaves

or peat moss over the soil and mix well.
