After Flower Care
Dead head early in the season to encourage more blooms. Allowing the subsequent blooms to remain will benefit birds and insects and seed for future generations to fall, as well as looking good of course. The seed may not be true to type.
Notes
Excellent in combination with grasses. Divide in spring or autumn as required, taking care with the roots, use a knife and two forks to pry apart. Protect from strong winds or place something beside that will support the narrow stems
