Care guide

Remove the faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. Apply a dry mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost damage and cut back in spring when new shoots appear low down on the stem. Lift and divide congested clumps in spring.

Planting requirements

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
