It ranks among the more cold-hardy annuals, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant pink and violet flowers bloom early and attract butterflies and bees.
