Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially in warmer weather. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and prevent self-seeding. Trim back any dead or damaged foliage in late autumn or early spring to maintain a tidy appearance.
Easily propagated by division of clumps in spring or autumn. Seeds can be sown in autumn or early spring, requiring stratification for best germination.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, using fresh, well-draining potting mix. This helps to refresh the soil and prevent the plant from becoming root-bound.
