Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant rhizomes in spring once frost risk has passed. Position in fertile, moisture-retentive soil in a warm sunny spot. Water generously during active growth and feed regularly for best flowering.
Care tips
Keep soil consistently moist during warm weather. Remove faded flowers to prolong blooming and feed regularly through summer for vigorous growth.
Winter care
In colder UK areas, lift rhizomes after the first frost and store in a cool, frost-free place over winter. In mild regions, mulch heavily if left outdoors.
