• Water regularly during dry spells, particularly in the first growing season while plants establish.


• Apply a mulch around the base of plants in spring to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.


• Cut back spent flower spikes after flowering to encourage tidiness and potential secondary blooms.


• In colder regions, apply a protective winter mulch around the crown of the plant in late autumn.


• Divide established clumps every two to three years in spring to maintain vigour.
