Care & maintenance

Easily grown in consistently moist, organically rich soil. Provide a generous layer of mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Deadhead spent flower plumes for a tidier appearance, though some prefer to leave them for winter interest. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
