Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Protect from excessive winter wet and do not allow to dry out in summer. Lift and divide every three years

Pruning

Deadheading regularly should encourage more flowers. Cut stems down to the ground in autumn, or leave seed heads for winter structure

Propagation

Propagate by division in early spring, before new growth begins, or by basal softwood cuttings

Pests

May be susceptible to slugs, especially in spring

Diseases

May be susceptible to powdery mildews in hot, dry weather, though this variety is said to show good resistance
