Plant in a location with rich soils and good drainage. Since it is evergreen, leaves may look tattered in early spring — just give them a sheering and new leaves will fill in quickly.

Foliage height: 8 to 10 inches Flower height: 18 to 22 inches Flower width: 18 to 20 inches

Retail merchandising/display suggestions:

‘Wild Rose’ will do well in both the garden and in containers. Display with ‘Black Pearl’ and ‘Pretty Pistachio’ for a full color impact. Great for perennial combination containers.
