Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. In warmer months, more frequent watering may be necessary.
Reduce watering during the dormant winter period to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune in late spring or early summer to maintain a desirable shape and size. Deadhead spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Hard pruning can be done in early spring before new growth emerges to rejuvenate the plant.
Propagate by division of clumps in spring or autumn. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining potting mix in a warm location.
Seed propagation is also possible, sown in spring.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring, or when root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, typically a blend of compost and gritty material.
Ensure adequate drainage holes.
