✂️ Care
Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong blooming until the first frost and stimulate the continuous production of new flowers. In autumn, leave the stems in place to protect the crown and provide shelter for beneficial insects; prune to ground level in spring once new growth is visible.
Lightly mulch around the base to retain moisture and gradually enrich the soil. A light application of compost in spring can support vigor. Once well-established, this variety requires very little intervention and tolerates dry conditions well.
Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years in spring to rejuvenate the plant and encourage abundant flowering.
