Homeowner Growing Tips: These prolific bloomers need to be grown in good soil or fertilized regularly to give them energy necessary to create all that sweet nectar. Water regularly during hot and dry weather to prevent wilting. Removing spent flower spikes will encourage more new blooms. Mulch in winter in northern climates. In spring, cut back to a 12" framework to encourage sturdy, vigorous new growth.
