✂️ Care

Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season, especially during hot periods. Enrichen 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 the emergence of new feathery plumes. Cut stems back to the base in fall or early spring to stimulate robust regrowth and maintain a compact, balanced shape.
