Growing Hidcote

Plant it in full sun. It prefers low water. It is hardy in USDA zones 5–9. Expect it to reach about 1.5 ft tall and 1.5 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 2 years.

When to plant Hidcote

Wait until all danger of frost has passed, then plant out Hidcote into warm soil; in most zones that means late spring. Planted then, it flowers from June to August.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 7 in April.
