- Size: It typically reaches a mature height of 2-4 feet and a spread of 2-3 feet.
- Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 9-11 and is often grown as an annual in cooler climates.
Care:
- Sun: Full sun is ideal for optimal foliage color and flowering.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, moderately fertile soil.
- Water: Requires moderate watering, especially during establishment, but is drought-tolerant once mature.
- Pruning: Cut back old stems in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth.
- Fertilizing: A balanced fertilizer can be applied in spring to promote vigorous foliage growth.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by division.
Landscape uses:
- Accent plant: Its unique variegated foliage and colorful plumes make it a great focal point.
- Mass planting: Planting in groups creates a stunning display.
- Containers: 'Cherry Sparkler' thrives in pots and can be used as a "thriller" or "filler" in container combinations.
- Borders: Adds graceful texture and movement to garden borders.
