Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 feet) when planning the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1 to 1.2 m (39 to 48 inches) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If considering a container, first ensure that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
