Grow in any, moderately fertile soil apart from waterlogged soils. Partial shade is best but full sun and shade are tolerated. Quite a tall species so may need support (see staking perennials) to prevent it flopping on some sites

Remove flowered stems and old leaves to encourage the production of fresh leaves and flowers

Propagate by division in spring or propagate by basal cuttings in early to mid spring and root with bottom heat

May be attacked by vine weevil, geranium sawfly, slugs and snails

May be subject to powdery mildews, a downy mildew and a virus
