Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow in deep, well-drained, humus-rich soil ideally in full sun although they can tolerate some shade

Pruning

Cut back stems as the blooms fade to encourage further flower production. Remaining seed heads look good in winter and can attract seed-eating birds

Propagation

Propagate by seed sown at 13°C in spring, by division in spring or autumn (although they resent a lot of disturbance) or by root cuttings from late autumn to early winter.
