Care |
Plants usually require no special care.
If the location is shady or the soil too rich, plants
may flop after flowering.
If this happens, shear back by a third to a half and
shape after flowering is complete.
Cutting back after flowering will also prevent
self-seeding. Cut to
the ground in the Spring. |
