Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

Pruning

No pruning required, but cutting back in late winter or early spring, before flower spikes form, will improve appearance

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; propagation for resale is prohibited without a licence

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
