To keep 'Chameleon' from self-sowing, deadhead as necessary. If allowed to self-sow, select seedlings with the characteristic red leaves of this cultivar. In spring, before new growth emerges, cut back old foliage.

how to sow/plant:

Choose a sunny site with moist, well-drained soil, and amend with well-rotted manure or compost. Direct sow in spring or fall, then select seedlings with red leaves. Transplant, setting plants at the same depth they grew previously, spaced 1 foot apart. Water upon planting, and mulch to conserve moisture.

water and fertilize:

Monitor soil all season to maintain moisture. In spring and fall, feed with a well-balanced fertilizer, following package instructions.
