Guía de cuidados

Plant in full sun in moist, alkaline soil. Stake the tall stems with canes or plant supports once they reach 40 cm. Water regularly and fertilise in spring with compost. Protect against slugs, especially in spring.

Consejos de poda

Cut flower spikes back to the first leaf immediately after flowering to encourage a second, shorter bloom in September. Remove all foliage just above ground level after the first frost.
