Water
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially in pots.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially in pots.
Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to encourage further flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. Trim any yellowed or dead foliage as needed. Minimal pruning is generally required beyond deadheading and tidying.
Propagate by division of established clumps in early spring or by seed sown in autumn or spring. Seed propagation may require stratification. Divisions should be replanted promptly into well-draining soil.
Repot established plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound, preferably in early spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
