✂️ Care
Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, especially during hot periods. Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter each spring to promote vigorous growth and spectacular plumes.
Regularly remove spent flowers to extend the blooming period and encourage new, delicate plumes. Cut back stems to the base in fall or early spring to stimulate robust regrowth and maintain a compact, balanced shape.
