Princess Flower Care
Grow princess flower in rich, fertile soil that is moist but well-drained, in a full sun location. Be sure to protect this plant from frost and strong winds. If you live in USDA hardiness zone 8 or lower, you can plant the princess flower in a container and bring it indoors each winter provided you are able to provide it with enough warmth and sunlight.

Princess flower has a natural round or vase-shaped growth habit, and it is quite tall when mature. Many gardeners prefer to prune it to control its size and shape it into a more compact form
