Cultural care

Prefers an open, well draining soil in a full sun location although afternoon shade will be tolerated. Medium watering requirements withstanding some dryness but should be watered regularly during extended periods of heat. Apply a slow release fertiliser in early spring. Cut back old flower stems to basal growth to maintain neat habit and encourage further displays
