🌱 Growing Tips
🕰️ Planting Time:
Spring (August–October), once frost risk has passed and the soil is warming up.
📍 Position:
Sun-loving—plant in a bright, sheltered position for best results. Looks fantastic in mixed beds and patio pots.
🌾 Soil:
Enriched, well-draining garden soil or composted potting mix. Slightly acidic to neutral pH preferred.
💧 Watering:
Water regularly to keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew.
🍽️ Feeding:
Feed every 2–3 weeks with a high-potassium liquid fertiliser to encourage abundant flowering.
✂️ Care & Maintenance:
Deadhead spent blooms to keep plants flowering. Pinch out growing tips early for a bushier, more floriferous plant. Cut back in late autumn or lift tubers in frost-prone areas.
🛏️ Overwintering:
In frost-free areas, mulch well and leave tubers in the ground. Elsewhere, lift and store in a cool, dry spot over winter.
