Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow in very gritty, moist but sharply drained soil in full sun. Protect from excessive winter wet. 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

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
