Growing at a glance…
If clumps become too large after flowering, you can easily split and transplant them into smaller groups. This amazing clump forming perennial is best when planted in prepared, well dug humus rich soil. Ensure that good drainage is provided and plant in full sun, shade or partial shade. Soak roots in a bucket of water for 1-2 hours before planting. Dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. Firm in gently and water well.
