Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn into fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Position in sun or light shade and water regularly during dry weather while establishing.
Care tips
Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering. Divide congested clumps every few years in spring or autumn to maintain vigour.
Winter care
Fully hardy in most UK gardens. Cut back faded foliage in late autumn or early spring and mulch lightly in colder areas.
