Well-draining loamy soil rich in organic matter; avoid waterlogged heavy clay.
Keep moist during active growth and flowering. Drought tolerant once established. Reduce watering significantly in winter dormancy.
Prefers full sun for best flowering. Tolerates partial shade but may reduce bloom count.
Apply balanced fertilizer at planting and early Spring. Stop fertilizing by late Autumn to prepare for dormancy.
Remove spent flower heads to prevent seed set. Cut back foliage after hard frost or in late Winter before new growth emerges.
