Watering

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during growth.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring and again after flowering.

Pruning

Clip back old leaves in late winter or early spring, before new flower spikes form

Propagation

Propagate by division in autumn or after flowering; or by root cuttings of rhizomes, kept under glass in winter, and planted out after all danger of frost has passed

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Where frosts are prolonged or severe, spread an organic mulch such as leaf mould or composted bark to protect plants over winter
