Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or early autumn in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Space plants 30-40 cm apart. Water generously after planting.
Care. Remove faded flower heads to prolong flowering. Divide the clump every 3 years, otherwise it thins out and flowers less.
Watering and feeding. Water in dry weather and avoid standing water. In spring apply a balanced fertiliser or compost and avoid excess nitrogen.
Winter care and pruning. Cut the stems back to the leaf rosette after flowering or in autumn. Cover is usually not needed in Estonia; on wet soil rot is a bigger risk than frost.
