About this plant
This has ferny foliage that sits close to the ground and large flowers held on stems way above the leaves. In this form the flowers are large, coloured deep blue and variably double. In some cases the flower is packed with petals, in others, the bowl-like character is retained with a large cluster of black stamens at the centre. These can be cut or are fine flowers for the spring garden. These do not last long and are often grown under glass but can succeed in warm and sunny positions.

Apply a deep protective mulch
Provide a deep protective mulch in autumn, spreading it around the plant and covering it to give it both nutrients and some protection against the weather.
A mulch is a covering that can: protect the soil surface from rain, heat and cold; deter weeds; provide nutrients. Organic indicates that material has vegetative origin e.g. manure, compost. Synthetics i.e. plastics, or stones are often called mulches.

Spring-Summer · Outdoors
Water during drought
Water plants in the ground regularly after a period of drought if still in growth (prefer to be dry when dormant). Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Summer
Summer - early · Outdoors
Feed a general fertiliser
Where plants have moderate needs for nutrients, they can simply be given a general feed, fairly early in the growth season so that the growth has plenty of time to harden off before the cold weather.
Give plants a general boost with the application of a general purpose fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plant, with amounts as directed on the feed label.
