✂️ Care
Light pruning in spring encourages compact, dense growth. Removing spent flowers extends the blooming period and keeps the plant looking 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, undergrowth, border plantings, and woodland settings.
