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 in cooler months.
Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back any dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Easily propagated by division of clumps in spring or autumn. Seeds can also be sown in spring, but may require stratification.
If grown in pots, repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
