  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.

• Spring - early-mid · Planting

  Divide when too large

  The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.

  Trim dead flowers to prevent self-seeding

  Note on self-seeding: If you do not want this plant to set seed it is necessary to promptly remove the spent flowers as they fade.

  It's possible to carefully remove the seed heads, complete with seed, and then place them in areas where you would like new seedlings to grow.
