✂️ Care

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

Lightly prune after the first flush 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 regrowth the following spring.
