Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in fall and winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back the entire plant to the ground in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges to remove dead foliage and tidy the plant.
Easily propagated by division in early spring or fall. Carefully dig up the clump and separate it into smaller sections, each with roots and shoots. Replant divisions immediately into prepared soil and water well.
This plant generally thrives when slightly root-bound and does not require frequent repotting. If necessary, repot in spring before new growth begins, typically every 2-3 years, into a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
