Care & maintenance

Easily grown in consistently moist, organically rich soils. Avoid letting the soil dry out, especially during hot summer months. Division every 3-4 years in spring helps maintain vigor. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage neatness, though some prefer to leave them for winter interest.
