It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. Magenta, fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. This compact form is non-invasive and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
