Planting time
Planting: Autumn, depending on variety also in spring.

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 watered less frequently but thoroughly and penetratingly, the plant roots are stimulated to penetrate into deeper soil layers. 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 up.
