It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast and stands erect, and it blooms from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Marketmore 76 cucumber, Carmen pepper, and Holy basil.
