Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn into well-prepared soil. Allow space for clumps to spread and water well during establishment.

Care tips

Very low maintenance once established. Divide congested clumps every few years to maintain vigour and flowering.

Winter care

Remove any damaged or tired leaves in late winter to keep clumps tidy. Plants require little protection and tolerate cold well.
