Jupiter's Beard will naturalize in well-drained, less fertile soils in sunny meadow gardens or add a wildflower ambiance to cottage gardens with its relaxed habit and free-flowering ways. Massed on sloping ground, it can also help prevent erosion. Pinch established plants to 4" tall to encourage a well-branched habit and shear most to the ground after bloom to avoid excessive self-sowing and promote a second, later bloom.
