Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially in pots.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Light pruning can be done in early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged stems.
Avoid heavy pruning, as it may reduce flowering.
Easily propagated from seed sown in early spring or autumn, either directly outdoors or in a propagator. It can also be propagated by division of established clumps in spring. Ensure seeds are sown thinly and keep moist.
Repot young plants annually in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound.
Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot is only slightly larger.
