Planting and Growing Information
'Mrs. Moon' performs best in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Plant in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8 in locations receiving morning sun with afternoon shade for optimal results. After flowering, cut back old foliage to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Consistent moisture is essential, especially during hot periods. Divide established clumps in early fall every few years to rejuvenate plants and expand your planting area.
