Planting & Care

Plant within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with well-draining soil, digging a hole twice the width of the root ball and setting the plant at its original depth. Water regularly during the first growing season to keep soil consistently moist, then reduce watering once established as the plant becomes drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers throughout summer to encourage additional blooms and maintain a neat appearance. In fall, leave the seed heads standing as they provide food and winter interest; cut stems back to the ground in early spring. Apply a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring, avoiding heavy feeding which can reduce blooming.
