✂️ Care
Light pruning in spring encourages compact, dense growth. Removing faded flowers prolongs the blooming period and maintains the plant's tidy appearance.
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; this plant appreciates constant humidity, especially during the growing season. An organic mulch helps retain moisture and enriches the soil.
Ideal for shaded gardens, undergrowth, border edges, and woodland plantings.
