Planting and Growing Information

This versatile perennial thrives in USDA zones 4-8 in full sun to partial shade positions. Plant bare roots in spring, spacing 18-24 inches apart in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. 'Challenger' performs beautifully in various soil types but prefers consistent moisture. For best results, cut back stems close to ground level in late winter to encourage vigorous growth. The impressive flowering period from late summer into early fall provides crucial late-season interest when many other perennials have finished blooming.
