Planting guide

Plant in spring or early autumn into very free-draining soil. Avoid rich composts and position the rosette above soil level to prevent moisture sitting at the crown.

Care tips

Water sparingly once established and remove spent rosettes after flowering to keep clumps tidy and healthy.

Winter care

Fully hardy outdoors. Ensure free-draining conditions over winter to prevent rot and avoid waterlogged soil.
