Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Lightly trim back any leggy or overgrown stems in late summer or early autumn to promote a more compact habit for the following season.
Propagate by division of established clumps in spring or autumn. Seeds can also be sown in autumn or early spring, often requiring a period of cold stratification. Cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer.
Repot young plants annually in spring, moving them to slightly larger containers. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
