Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in well-prepared soil. Space plants to allow spread and water well until established. Incorporate organic matter to improve soil structure.
Care tips
Remove old or tatty leaves in late winter and divide congested clumps every few years to maintain vigour. Water during prolonged dry spells.
Winter care
Very hardy and requires little winter attention. Tidy away damaged leaves in late winter to allow fresh growth to emerge cleanly.
