Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant from spring to autumn 25–30 cm apart, 9–11 plants per m² for a quick carpet.
Watering. Keep the soil moist, especially in the first season and in hot weather. A compost mulch holds moisture.
Care. No pruning needed. Spent spikes can be cut off for a tidy look. If runners spread too far, simply remove surplus rosettes.
Gardener's tip. Divide and replant rosettes in late autumn or early spring – an easy way to get new plants for other corners of the garden.
