And, with ith four plants in one pack, this is surely an economical way to landscape large spaces. There are a multitude of options when choosing annual pack color.

SUN TO PART SUN:
These plants need six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. Remember that with all the sunshine these plants will require water often. We recommend watering these every other day. Soak thoroughly until water runs from drainage holes.
