Planting and Growing Information
'Vintage Wine' thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade, adapting well to various soil conditions including clay, sandy, or loamy soils with good drainage. Plant in spring or fall, spacing 18-24 inches apart for optimal growth. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, this versatile perennial performs reliably across most of the continental United States. Regular deadheading extends the blooming period, though leaving some seedheads provides winter interest and bird food. Division every 3-4 years maintains vigor and plant health.
