Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in autumn and winter.
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot, especially in potted plants.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming 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 prepares the plant for dormancy.
Propagate by division of clumps in early spring or autumn. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has at least one bud.
Replant immediately into well-drained soil, watering lightly to help them establish.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years, preferably in spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one, using fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This revitalizes the plant and prevents root-bound conditions.
