Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Space plants about 20ā25 cm apart to allow them to fill out into dense, colourful mounds. Removing spent flowers encourages even more blooms through the season.
Whether used to brighten up formal beds or to add cheerful colour to containers, Durango Bolero delivers reliable, high-impact colour with minimal effort, making it a must-have addition to summer gardens.
