Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter dormancy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or spent flower stalks. Deadheading can prevent self-seeding if unwanted.
Propagate by division of established clumps in spring or by softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seed can also be sown in spring, but may take longer to establish.
Repot young plants annually or biannually in spring to provide fresh soil and room for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, every 2-3 years, or when root-bound.
