Care
- A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time. - If the plant is divided every 2-3 years and weak roots and shoots are removed, the reward is better growth and flowering vigour! - If the plant is watered less frequently but thoroughly and thoroughly, the plant roots are encouraged to penetrate deeper into the soil. This enables the plant to survive dry periods better.
