Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back stems in late fall or early spring to about 10-15 cm above the ground to promote vigorous new growth and prevent disease.
Divide established clumps in early spring as new growth emerges. This can be done by carefully separating sections of the root ball, ensuring each division has healthy roots and shoots.
Replant immediately into well-draining soil.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This revitalizes the plant and provides space for root expansion.
