Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant out after the last frost in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil, 30–40 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water young plants until established and during drought. Feed with a general fertiliser in early summer.
Care. Deadhead regularly for new buds until autumn. For self-seeding, leave a few seed heads in autumn.
Winter. Short-lived: some plants overwinter, some do not. Cut stems back in autumn; self-sown seedlings appear in spring.
