Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.
Prune after flowering to remove spent flower stalks and any dead or damaged foliage. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages new growth. Light pruning can be done anytime to shape the plant.
Propagate by division of established clumps in spring or early autumn. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each piece has at least one bud. Replant immediately in well-draining soil.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably a mix for perennials or alpines.
