Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly at planting to encourage root development, then maintain moderate moisture during growth. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage branching. This dwarf variety generally does not require staking due to its compact and naturally balanced habit.
This hardy and reliable perennial requires little maintenance and no winter protection. Ideal for low borders, rock gardens, and cottage gardens, it offers dense and generous violet-blue blooms all summer long.
