Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering in fall and winter when the plant is dormant, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Cut back overgrown stems to maintain shape and encourage denser growth.
Minimal pruning is generally required for this species.
Propagate by division in early spring. Carefully dig up clumps and divide the rhizomes, ensuring each section has at least one bud. Replant divisions immediately into well-draining soil.
Seeds can be sown in fall, but germination may be slow and erratic.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Ensure good drainage holes. Water thoroughly after repotting.
