Culture Notes
Division of the clump can be done in the spring and stem cuttings can be taken in the summer. Seeds can be sown after collecting them in the late spring. Deadheading spent flowers may encourage a longer blooming period. This hardy and easy to grow plant prefers the sun and a well-drained soil that does not dry out. The flowers are long-blooming and arranged on long erect spikes. The plant may need staking for support.
