Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune back dead foliage in late autumn or early spring. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Propagate by seed sown in spring or by division of clumps in early spring. Seeds may require stratification.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring to refresh the soil and prevent root-bound conditions.
