With a mature spread of 24 to 32 inches, you should space your plants at least 24 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy growth. This spacing ensures the plants can fill in nicely without becoming overcrowded.

Absolutely. Their compact, mounding habit makes them an excellent choice for containers. Just ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes, as these plants prefer moderate watering and do not like to sit in soggy soil.
