Laciniated · 4–5"Purple

Ambition produces richly colored magenta-purple blooms with distinctive fringed, split petal tips that catch light from every angle. Plants flower prolifically from midsummer through the first frost, making them reliable workhorses for cutting gardens and mixed borders alike. Strong upright stems and above-average rain resistance add to the practical appeal of this generous bloomer.

Growing Ambition

Pinch the growing tip when plants reach about knee height to encourage branching and heavier bloom production. Stake early, as taller stems can sway in wind. Water consistently at the base and feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer once buds form. Cut stems often to keep new buds coming through autumn.

Spacing: Space roughly 2–3 ft apart
Staking: Staking recommended once buds set
