Grow it in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained loamy soil. Its native range or documented parentage is coastal plains of Southern United States. Bees nectar at these flowers, as do other pollinators. In the landscape, it works well in foundation planting, hedge, and mass planting. Once established, it shows useful tolerance to compaction, deer, and wet soil.
