✂️ 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 is necessary. This perennial faithfully returns each year and creates a spectacular effect at the back of flowerbeds or in mass plantings, offering remarkably beautiful flowers season after season.
