Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow in deep, humus-rich soil. Prefers partial shade but will tolerate full sun in a site that does not dry out. Shelter from cold, drying winds

Pruning

Flower spikes can be cut down after flowering, or left to develop seed heads for winter interest

Propagation

Propagate by seed, sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame, or for quicker results by division in autumn (propagation by seed is unreliable and slow)
