This variety is hardy in zones 3 through 8, making it a reliable perennial in a wide range of climates across the United States.

Upon arrival, inspect the roots to ensure they are firm and healthy. Plant them promptly in well-drained soil, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface, and water thoroughly to help the roots establish.

At maturity, 'Fatal Attraction' typically reaches a height of about 2 feet with a spread of approximately 18 inches, making it a great choice for the middle or front of a garden border.
