It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it.

Pairs well with Tomato, Candy carrot, and Thai basil.
