Planting

Choose full sun and well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil. Use a dry border or sunny path edge where the foliage and flowers can be enjoyed at close range.

Care

Remove faded flower spikes to encourage more bloom. Trim for shape in spring, avoiding autumn cuts that can produce tender growth before winter; keep the roots out of persistent wetness.

Before planting: Flowers, leaves and stems can cause illness if eaten in large quantities.
