Planting Guide

Planting: Plant in good, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole to accommodate roots without bending. Set the crown 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Backfill and water thoroughly immediately after planting.

Watering: Water immediately after planting; prefer deep watering once per week over daily light watering. Keep consistently moist but never waterlogged.

Seasonal care: Remove spent blooms and dead foliage as needed. Cut foliage to ground level in late fall and mulch over the root zone in colder climates. Divide clumps every 4–5 years in late summer or early autumn. In colder climates, spring planting is recommended. Avoid planting July–September in the South during high heat and humidity above 90°F.
