✂️ Care
Light pruning in spring encourages compact and dense growth. Removing spent flowers extends the blooming period and maintains the plant's tidy appearance.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; this plant appreciates consistent moisture, especially during its growth period. Organic mulch helps retain moisture and enriches the soil.
Ideal for shaded gardens, woodlands, bed borders, and forest landscapes.
