Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and prevent self-seeding. Cut back plants in late fall or early spring to maintain shape and remove dead foliage.
Easily propagated by division in spring or fall. Seeds can be sown in fall or early spring, but division is generally more reliable for maintaining desired traits.
Not typically a container plant, but if grown in pots, repot every 2-3 years in spring to refresh soil and prevent root-bound conditions. Use a well-draining potting mix.
