Vigorous and heat tolerant with abundant flowers all summer; great plant to fill open shady spaces
|
Pros
- Offer tons of color, height, and green or bronze foliage options
- Low maintenance
- Can tolerate full shade to full sun, depending on the variety
- Do well in containers and planted in the ground
|
Cons
- Needs extra water in extremely hot weather
- Susceptible to botrytis, a fungal leaf disease - pick these leaves off and put in landscape waste collection (do not compost diseased plant material) / solution: water the soil, not the foliage
- Cannot “overwinter” in the Chicago area (will need to be dug up and stored indoors or sacrificed to the snow gods in the fall)
- Will drop their leaves if the soil is too wet or too dry for an extended length of time
