Care
- A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring.

This helps the plant to survive periods of drought. - This perennial should be cut back in autumn/late autumn when the plant begins to shrivel. - The faded inflorescences should be cut back. This measure encourages new growth. - If the plants are cut back after flowering, they will sprout again and flower once more.
