Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in fall and winter, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. After flowering, cut back the dead foliage to the ground in late autumn or early spring.
This removes old growth and allows for new shoots to emerge vigorously.
Propagate by seed sown in autumn or early spring, or by division of clumps in early spring. Seeds may require a period of cold stratification.
Divisions should be replanted immediately and watered well to encourage establishment.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This revitalizes the plant and prevents it from becoming root-bound.
