- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins, and again after flowering to promote robust blooms and healthy foliage.
- Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and old foliage to maintain a clean appearance. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in late summer to encourage flowering and prevent overcrowding.
