Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Remove dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring. Minimal pruning is usually required; focus on maintaining a tidy appearance.
Best propagated by division of established clumps in early spring or autumn. Seed propagation is possible but slow and requires stratification.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring or autumn. Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the crown is at soil level.
