It bloomed extremely hard after the first week of September and continued for about 2-1/2 weeks. This plant does seem to move fast, which is good if you have the room, because even a 3-4 inch new stem will flower. I watered this plant twice a week in a well drained area. Towards the end of summer when it's ready to flower and especially while flowering, it may be necessary to stake this plant to hold it together. However, in doing so, brings a much fuller bloom!

Kind of invasive but hard to come back if you divide or move it. Flowers seem to fall forward easily and need support.
