Deadhead spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In late autumn or early spring, trim back any dead or damaged foliage to the ground. This promotes vigorous new growth.
Propagate by division of established clumps in early spring or autumn. Seeds can be sown outdoors in autumn or stratified and sown indoors in early spring. Divisions should be replanted immediately.
Repot young plants annually in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Mature plants can be divided and repotted every 2-3 years or when they become pot-bound, usually in early spring.
