Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in late autumn and winter when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back the foliage to the ground in late autumn or early winter after it has yellowed and died back.
This helps prevent disease and encourages robust spring growth.
Divide established clumps in early spring or autumn. Carefully separate sections with roots and at least one growth bud. Replant divisions immediately into well-draining soil.
This method also serves to rejuvenate older plants.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with ample drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
This helps to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth.
