| One more and the plant is in my atrium which is a mess due to all our rain and flooding here in Houston. When I plant this out in the yard where is best? full sun? shade? etc. And when can I move them from those pots to the garden? |

| Should be very fragrant but be careful not to touch your nose to the dangling red things - it will stain your skin. |

| I believe you can plant them out anytime. They love full sun and you can put leafmold in the hole and mix it in. They like that. Dig them up after flowering and divide them if needed to make more. Deadhead right behind the seedhead so the plant doesn't use all it's energy trying to set seed. Nip spent flowers off but leave the stems until they turn brown. They can then be removed by pulling them out of the ground. They come out easily. You can of course leave some flowers to set seed but the easiest way to propagate is by division. The seeds are slow to germinate and I belive it can take years before they produce flowers. |
