Planting
Use moist soil in sun, partial shade or shade. Give it some shade where summers are dry, as exposed leaves can scorch in strong sun.
Care
Trim faded flowers to tidy the plant, encourage new growth and reduce self-seeding. Divide in spring or autumn when the clump needs reducing or more plants are wanted.
