Care & maintenance

Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage plant vigor and prevent self-seeding, though 'Medusa' is not prone to aggressive self-seeding. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring or fall to maintain vigor.
