Where to use it in a border
At around 180 cm, it sits best toward the back of a border, or on its own as a focal point with room around it. Give it about 120 cm of room to spread. It is hardy across USDA zones 5a to 10b, so check it suits your area before planting.
It appears in our lists of full sun, sandy soil.
