Care Guide

Excellent pest and disease resistance

No serious issues with pests and diseases - watch out for slugs and snails, protecting plants with a barrier of copper wire, crushed shells or fine grit if affected. MORE

Full sun

Position where the plants will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily in spring/summer.

Any wet, boggy soil

Any permanently moist or waterlogged soil. Tolerates poor drainage.

Prune lightly

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
