Plant Care
Plant in fertile, well-draining soil with added leaf mould. Prune off flower stems once flower heads fade. Add mulch in autumn for extra nourishment and moisture retention. Lightly fertilize in March for better growth. They naturally die back in autumn and return with new growth in spring.
