Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Space plants well to allow good airflow and water regularly while establishing.

Winter care
Leave seed heads in place through winter for wildlife interest and protection, then cut back old stems in early spring before new growth appears.
