Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or early autumn in sun or part shade in moist, well-drained soil, 40–50 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water while establishing and in prolonged drought. A little compost or perennial feed in spring is enough.
Care. After flowering cut back flowers and old leaves — fresh foliage follows and self-seeding is prevented. Divide in spring if needed.
Winter. Fully hardy, needs no protection.
