Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Cut back after flowering to prevent self-seeding and to encourage a second flush of flowers

Propagation

Propagate by seed in containers in a cold frame in spring. The plants will self seed, if allowed to do so and produce plants with some colour variation. Divide clumps in spring or early autumn. Take stem-tip cuttings from new growth after flowering

Growing

Requires a fertile, moist but well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil in sun or partial shade. The delicate flower colour is best preserved in partial shade. The plants may require staking in exposed positions
