Cultivation & Care Guide

Watering: Water regularly in the first season; established plants are drought tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture.
Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring for robust growth.
Pruning: Remove faded flower spikes and tidy dead foliage in autumn.
Pests: Watch for slugs and snails—mulch or use barriers as needed.
