Fama Deep Blue reaches 12 to 18 inches wide, and should be deadheaded promptly to encourage the next flush of gorgeous blooms. Give it well-drained soil, pamper it the first season to get its roots established, and you're off and running. And if you like Fama Deep Blue, you must also try its white sister.
