This annual will grow 6"-24" tall and produces beautiful white blooms surrounded by dark green foliage. It does best in full sun and dry to moist soil.
Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
