✂️ Care

'Pink Cat' is a robust and low-maintenance perennial that adapts to most growing conditions. Its bushy, spreading habit creates a generous and natural silhouette, perfect for borders, rock gardens, and mass plantings without requiring regular pruning.

Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous and prolonged blooming. Lightly prune in spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain its bushy shape and vigor.
