Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Visions in Red' in consistently moist, humus-rich soil for optimal performance. While shade-loving, this variety can tolerate more sun if adequate moisture is maintained. Space plants 12-24 inches apart to allow for mature spread. Early spring planting allows roots to establish before summer heat arrives.
