Care & maintenance

Prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Protect from hot, direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch. May self-seed if conditions are favorable. Divide every few years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
