Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought or waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

Pruning

No pruning required, but chopping or pinching out a section of plants in late spring can result in bushier growth that flowers slightly later. This can help to hide leggy stems, though this cultivar is less prone to lower leaf drop than some others. Deadheading will also prolong flowering

Propagation

Propagate by basal softwood cuttings in spring, or by division in spring or late autumn

Growing

Grow in full sun in fertile, moisture-retentive, humus-rich soil. Keep well watered in summer dry spells. Tall stems may need support (see staking perennials). Divide every two to three years to maintain vigour
