About this plant
This has large and sumptuous flowers that are coloured a warm, slightly lilac shade of pink. The colour is paler at the petal base and there are chunky black anthers. These are not long lived but make an incomparable addition to the spring garden. The Harmony range comes in a range of colours and has both single and double flowers. They are compact spring flowering forms with ferny foliage that appears quite slight in comparison to the huge silken flowers.

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.

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.
