Planting
Choose sun or partial shade and well-drained soil with organic matter. Match the cultivar’s eventual height to its position in a border or container.
Care
Remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms. Divide overcrowded clumps every two or three years in spring or autumn.
Before planting: Avoid winter-wet soil. Harmful if swallowed, and contact can irritate skin; wear gloves when handling.
