Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back flowering stems to just above a leaf or side shoot.
After the main flowering period, cut back the entire plant by about one-third to promote a tidier habit and potential reblooming.
Propagate by division in early spring or fall. Carefully dig up the clump and divide it into sections, ensuring each section has healthy roots and shoots. Replant divisions immediately into well-draining soil.
Can also be grown from seed, sown in spring.
Established plants rarely need frequent repotting. If grown in containers, repot every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This helps to refresh the soil and prevent the plant from becoming root-bound.
