About this plant
This variety has pretty carmine-pink flowers that look very bright and almost frothy against the light green finger-like lobed leaves. The spiky, rather whiskered looking flowers are highly enticing and much loved by butterflies.

Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

Apply slow release fertiliser
Apply a slow release fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plants soon after they have come into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
