This carefree wonder quickly blankets even tough problem areas with dense green foliage and thousands of colorful blooms. Plant 8-12 apart in any moist soil and in full sun to partial shade. A feeding of compost in the spring is all this plant requires in the way of food. Prune after flowering or late summer to create a healthier plant and to encourage denser growth.
