Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in well-drained soil. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot and space plants to allow good air circulation. Incorporate organic matter when planting and water regularly until established.
Care tips
Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous flowering. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour. Avoid overly wet soils, particularly in winter.
Winter care
Cut back faded foliage in late autumn or leave for structure and trim in early spring. Mulch lightly to protect roots in colder areas and ensure good drainage to prevent rot.
