    • I live in San Diego's Hardiness Zone 10a and this plant is doing very well even though the plant is rated Zones 5-9. It is in its second season and is covered with beautiful blooms. It is growing in a "butterfly garden" in full sun and is irrigated by drip system. Even though deadheading isn't required, I did do a little pruning. The bush is 31 inches tall with a spread of 40 inches.
