Flowering generally extends from July through September in Canada.

Transplant in May or June without breaking the root ball, choosing sun or partial shade and well-drained, relatively dry soil that may be poor or slightly alkaline. In heavy or moist ground, incorporate coarse sand or gravel to improve drainage. Water during establishment, then avoid excessive moisture around the crown.
