I live in West Palm Beach and mine sits in the middle of my rock garden with
full sun all year long. It is now about 8-10 feet around and has hundred of
blooms. This year it started blooming around the Super Bowl and is still
blooming almost neverending with seed pods everywhere. I guess the bees are
very busy! It sits in the middle of my garden surrounded by other flowers.
I hardly ever water it and only fertilize when I fertilize the rest of the
garden with an all purpose granular fertilizer, sometimes I use milorganite.

Good Luck!
