They appear in late spring and last to autumn, gradually maturing to pink. It is used in gardens in the UK and USA.[5] It grows in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. It may need protection from the harshest winter frosts (in the UK). The cut flowers are used ornamentally, fresh or dried.[6]
