Full sun or very light shade produces copious bloom stalks, but 'Southern Charm' would likely languish in denser shade. My plants have toughed out two droughty summers now, and probably prefer that to rainy years. Plants are hardy in Zones 5 to 8. Nothing could be easier than growing 'Southern Charm' from seed. Its seeds germinate quickly at 70 F, but are so small they should be surface-sown and then watered carefully to avoid burying them too deeply.
Plants bloom the first year from seed if started early indoors.
Once you see the misty pastels of 'Southern Charm', you'll never want to be without it. N.C. Photo Steve Silk. Used by permission. Read our Privacy Policy .
