About this plant
This is a rather delicate-looking plant with long slender beige-brown stems that carry whorls of slender lance-shaped green leaves with longitudinal veins and toothy edges. The branching flower stalks are long and carry small creamy-white single flowers in spring. The flowers have purple undersides and lavender-green stamens. This needs a damp site where moisture is always reliably present.

Water to keep the soil moist
For best results, this plant needs soil that is always moist. Water deeply and regularly as soon as soil appears dry. Even for established plants in the ground, a dry week can cause problems with some soils. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather. Or install an automatic irrigation system which will do the hard work for you, even when you are away on holiday.
Without regular watering some plants never fully regain their beauty.

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.
