Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and prevent self-seeding. Cut back the foliage to the ground in late autumn or early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy appearance.
Propagate by division in early spring or autumn. Seeds can be sown in autumn or stratified and sown in spring. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring.
As a perennial, repotting is generally not required unless grown in a container. If container-grown, repot every 2-3 years in spring into fresh potting mix to refresh the soil and provide more space.
