✂️ Care

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the summer, and enrich it with compost or organic matter each spring to support its lush growth.

Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and stimulate the production of new delicate plumes. Cut back stems to ground level in autumn or early spring to encourage vigorous regrowth and a compact silhouette.
