    Care tips

    Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back faded stems in late autumn or early spring. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour.

    Winter care

    This hardy perennial dies back in winter but reliably re-emerges in spring. In colder areas, applying a layer of mulch in autumn helps protect the roots from frost.
