Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Remove dead or damaged foliage at any time. Cut back to the ground in late autumn or early spring to encourage fresh growth. This also tidies the appearance of the plant and prevents the spread of potential diseases.
Easily propagated from division in early spring. Carefully separate clumps of rhizomes, ensuring each division has at least one bud. Replant immediately into well-draining soil. Seeds can also be sown in autumn.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. If grown in the ground, division serves as a natural form of repotting and rejuvenation. Ensure ample space for root spread.
