- After Flower Care
- To encourage more blooms you can dead head regularly during flowering. Or, as the first flush begins to wane in summer, cut back to half and add some fertiliser, it will soon bloom again. Allow to stand in the first winter, and then cut to the ground early spring before the new growth emerges to maintain a healthy, bushy plant.
- Notes
- Divide in spring as necessary. It is a good idea to protect new foliage from slugs/snails. Flowers & foliage are edible.
