Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny position. Ideal for gravel gardens, wall crevices, paving gaps and containers. Water regularly while establishing, then only during prolonged dry periods.
Care tips
Trim lightly after the main flush of flowering to encourage fresh blooms and prevent plants becoming too untidy. Divide mature clumps every few years if needed.
Winter care
Trim back lightly in late winter or early spring to refresh growth and maintain a tidy shape. Avoid overly wet winter conditions where possible, especially in heavier soils.
