Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in fertile, well-drained soil. Position in full sun and water regularly until established. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming through the season.
Care tips
Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour. Avoid waterlogged winter soils.
Winter care
Cut stems back after flowering or leave seed heads for winter interest before tidying in early spring. Mulch lightly in autumn in colder areas to protect the crown.
