Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Avoid heavy clay soils and do not overwater once established.
Care tips
Deadhead lightly to encourage continued flowering. Cut back old stems in spring and avoid waterlogged conditions during winter.
Winter care
Leave top growth in place through winter for crown protection, then trim back in early spring once new shoots appear. Avoid overly wet winter soil.
