Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, remove the plant from its 10cm nursery pot and place it in a hole twice the width of the root ball. Ensure the crown is level with the soil surface and backfill with quality garden soil.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season while the roots establish.
- Placement: This plant is highly compatible with most border styles, including cottage, woodland, and informal gardens.
- Pruning: Cut the plant back hard after the first flush of flowers has faded. This simple action clears away tired stems and encourages a fresh, vibrant new set of leaves.
- Soil: It prefers well-drained but moisture-retentive soil; avoid extremely waterlogged locations.
