Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter when the plant is dormant, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.
Prune after flowering to remove spent flower stalks. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems at any time of year. This encourages bushier growth and maintains the plant's attractive form.
Minimal pruning is generally required.
Propagate by division in early spring or autumn. Carefully dig up the plant and separate the rhizomes, ensuring each piece has at least one growth bud. Replant immediately in well-draining soil, watering well.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes pot-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
