✂️ Care
Light pruning in spring encourages compact and dense growth. Removing spent flowers prolongs the flowering period and keeps the plant tidy.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; this plant appreciates consistent moisture, especially during the growing season. Organic mulch helps retain moisture and enriches the soil.
Ideal for shaded gardens, woodlands, border edges, and forest plantings.
