Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant where it can receive full sun, although some partial shade is tolerated in the south and warmest areas of the west. ​​Plant so that the buds at the top of the roots are pointing up. Cover with 1-2 inches of soil if you’re in the north, no more than one inch if you’re in the south. 

2. Watering: Ensure moderate moisture and well-draining soil, about an inch of water per week throughout the growing season.

3. Fertilizing: An annual side-dressing of one inch of compost or aged manure will help this plant’s growth. No other fertilization is needed.

4. Pruning: Deadhead after flowering and cut back to the ground in winter after the first frost to encourage energy for next year.
