Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn into moist but well-drained soil. Water well after planting and deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms.

Care tips

Keep soil evenly moist in dry spells. Deadhead faded flowers to extend blooming. Divide congested clumps every few years.

Winter care

Cut back old stems and remove tired foliage. Protect pots from prolonged waterlogging.
