Top Tips
You will often get more flowers when the roots are restricted, so this plant that does better in a pot - plus it can be easily moved to avoid the worst of the winter weather.
Care Information
- Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser monthly from spring until flowering.
- From the end of September reduce watering and feeding to allow the foliage to harden.
- In colder parts of the UK, cover the crown of the plant with a deep, dry mulch to protect the plants from hard frosts, or grow in a pot so they can be overwintered in an unheated greenhouse.
