Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered spot out of strong midday sun to prevent leaf scorch. Water regularly while establishing, particularly in containers.

Care tips

Keep soil consistently moist, especially in dry spells. Protect from slugs and snails, particularly in spring. Remove spent flower stems to keep the plant tidy.
