Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position for best flowering. Space plants to allow airflow and avoid overcrowding. Water well during establishment and keep soil consistently moist, especially in dry spells.
Care tips
Divide clumps every few years in early spring to maintain vigour. Remove spent flower stems after blooming to keep the plant neat. Water during prolonged dry periods, particularly in lighter soils.
Winter care
Cut back faded foliage in late autumn to keep the plant tidy. Mulch lightly in colder areas to protect roots, particularly in exposed gardens. Established plants are hardy and require minimal intervention.
