Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, ensuring good drainage. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant months.
Minimal pruning is required. Remove dead or faded flower stalks after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent self-seeding if not desired.
Cut back foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Easily propagated by division in spring. Seeds can be sown in autumn or early spring, but germination may be slow and erratic. Ensure good drainage for seedlings.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, similar to that used for garden planting. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
