Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to maintain consistently moist soil, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in autumn and winter when the plant is dormant.
Minimal pruning is required. Remove any dead or damaged foliage in late autumn or early spring. Deadheading spent flowers is not necessary.
Easily propagated by division of rhizomes in early spring or autumn. Seeds can be sown in autumn, but germination may be slow and erratic.
For container-grown plants, repot every 2-3 years in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger pot to accommodate root growth.
