✂️ Maintenance
Maintain evenly moist soil 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 prolong the blooming period and encourage the emergence of new delicate plumes. Cut stems back to the base in autumn or early spring to stimulate robust regrowth and maintain a compact, balanced shape.
