Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In late fall or early spring, cut back the old foliage to about 10-15 cm above the ground to promote new growth.
This also helps prevent disease.
Propagate by division of established clumps in early spring or fall. Seeds can be sown in fall or early spring. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining medium.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years, or when they become root-bound, typically in early spring before new growth begins. Mature plants can be divided and repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.
