✂️ Care
Very easy to care for. Cut back stems to the ground in spring after the last frost and apply an organic mulch to retain soil moisture. Light fertilization in spring supports abundant flowering.
No staking required. This perennial reliably returns each year and creates a spectacular effect in the back of a flowerbed or in a mass planting, offering remarkably beautiful flowers season after season.
