I planted this in a fairly harsh, full sun location in the Colorado front range. It's been very hot and dry, and it has continued to flower all summer. It is Sept 1st, and it is just as full of blooms as when I got it, even though I haven't deadheaded once. There are a few brown leaves that I should trim off, but it outperformed my expectations in this less than ideal location.
