✂️ Care
This compact perennial thrives in sunny exposure and is perfectly suited for coastal conditions and rock gardens. Keep the soil slightly dry after establishment.
Remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming and continuous production of delicate red pom-poms. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and promote dense, balanced growth.
