Planting guide

Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or partial shade. Give each plant around 40cm of space and protect young growth from slugs. Deadhead regularly for the best display.

Care tips

Cut back faded stems to encourage more blooms. Leave foliage on over winter for protection. Cut hard in spring and mulch yearly for best results.

Winter care

Leave stems intact over winter for crown protection. Cut back hard in spring when new growth appears. Mulch around the base in autumn in colder areas.
