Reduce watering in winter.
Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back established plants in late autumn or early spring to remove dead foliage and promote new growth.
Divide overcrowded clumps every few years.
Easily propagated by division in early spring or autumn. Sow fresh seeds in autumn or spring in a cold frame. Softwood cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-drained compost.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a good quality, peat-free compost mixed with grit for drainage. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
