Growing Purple Magic

Plant it in full sun. It prefers moderate water. It is hardy in USDA zones 7–10. Expect it to reach about 3.9 ft tall and 8 in wide at maturity, in roughly 1 year.

When to plant Purple Magic

Purple Magic is tender: plant it out after the last frost, once the soil has warmed. In the middle of its hardy zones 7 to 10 range that means March or April; where spring comes later, it goes out later. Expect flowers from July to August.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 8 in March.
