Cultural Care
Grows well in moist soil types which are well draining. Enjoys a sunny position although flower colour is deeper when given some protection from the harsh midday sun. Low maintenance and easy to grow. Remove any old foliage at the appearance of new growth in early spring when an addition of slow release fertiliser would also be beneficial to overall performance.

Plant Uses
Grow as individual clumps or create dramatic sweeps of colour with drifts of plants. The course foliage will form an attractive groundcover for shaded areas but keep in mind the deeper the shade the less production of flowers.
