This plant has it all - showy flowers and attractive foliage. It can get to 5ft tall, and slowly spreads by runners, so it needs a larger bed. And moist conditions - established plants can tolerate a little drought, but may not flower. For best results put it near water or consistently moist soil. Full sun is best too. Hey it's the Queen, it can be demanding and get away with it.
