care

Plant in moist, organically rich, well-draining soil in a sunny spot protected from strong winds. Cut back the plant by about half in early spring to maintain a nice shape and encourage new growth. Feed with a slow-release fertilizer throughout the growing season, and consider a liquid fertilizer with a higher middle number to encourage stronger and more abundant blooms.
