How to Grow

Cultivation

Grow in a sheltered site in full sun in fertile well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter and general purpose fertiliser. Water freely in dry weather. Pinching out the growing tip when the plants are 15-20cm tall to encourage free flowering bushy plants. Staking is usually required. There is no need to deadhead. In mild areas leave in the ground protected by a thick mulch. Elsewhere lift the crowns and store in a greenhouse, raising fresh plants from these each year

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings taken in spring from shoots from stored stools

Suggested planting locations and garden types

Cottage and informal garden
Flower borders and beds
Cut flowers

Pruning

Cut back to near ground level in the autumn, before lifting and storing for the winter
