Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.

Prune back spent flower stalks after blooming to encourage a tidier appearance and potentially a second flush of flowers. In late autumn or early spring, cut back any dead or leggy stems to ground level to promote new growth and maintain shape.

Wild Clary is easily propagated from seed sown in autumn or early spring, either directly outdoors or in a cold frame. It can also be propagated from basal cuttings taken in late spring, after flowering has finished.

This is a perennial plant that can be left in place. If it becomes overcrowded or needs revitalization, it can be divided in early spring.

Repotting is not a common requirement for established plants, which thrive in their natural settings.
