✂️ Care

Water regularly to maintain moist but well-drained soil, especially during growth and flowering. Firmly stake tall stems to prevent them from breaking under the weight of the spectacular flower spikes. Remove spent flowers as soon as they dry out to encourage prolonged and abundant blooming.

Lightly prune after the first wave of blooms to stimulate a second flowering in late summer. In autumn, cut stems back to the ground once they have completely died back to promote vigorous new growth the following spring.
