General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the finest blooms.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to ensure consistent moisture without waterlogging.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season to promote vigorous flowering; a light, 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps regulate temperature and moisture levels.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the clump, leaving a small gap at the crown to maintain healthy airflow.
- Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to encourage a continual display of stunning blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
- Containers: Adapts beautifully to containers, offering a delightful focal point on patios or decks.
