Planting guide

Plant in well-drained soil in spring or autumn. Space plants 40–50cm apart. Protect young shoots from slugs and snails. Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat blooms.

Care tips

Water in dry spells, mulch annually, and deadhead to extend flowering. Protect from snails and slugs. Cut back after blooming for neatness and potential second flush.

Winter care

Cut back dead stems in autumn as it dies back naturally. Mulch in late autumn to protect the crown in colder areas.
