Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

Pruning

Leave faded flowers as seedheads are an attractive feature

Propagation

Propagate by seed sown in pots in an open frame as soon as seed is ripe. Propagate by taking root cuttings in winter

Growing

Grow in fertile, very well-drained soil in full sun. It resents root disturbance and may be difficult to establish, so plant when small and leave undisturbed. Can also be grown in pots in an alpine house
