✂️ Maintenance
Light pruning in spring encourages compact, dense growth. Removing faded flowers extends the blooming period and keeps the plant tidy.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; this plant appreciates consistent humidity, especially during the growing season. Organic mulch helps retain moisture and enriches the soil.
Ideal for shaded gardens, undergrowth, border edges, and woodland plantings.
