It blends beautifully with ornamental grasses and other moisture-loving perennials, creating a naturalistic, flowing effect.

Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in fertile, moisture-retentive soil that drains well in winter. Position in full sun for best flowering, though it will tolerate light shade. Incorporate organic matter before planting and water well to help establish.
Care tips
Water during prolonged dry spells, particularly in the first year after planting. Divide congested clumps every three to four years in early spring to maintain strong flowering. Remove spent flower stems to keep plants tidy.
Winter care
Allow foliage to die back naturally in autumn, then cut down to just above ground level. Apply a light mulch of compost or well-rotted manure to protect the roots and enrich the soil. Ensure good drainage during winter months.
