Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun to full shade, in moist, fertile soil. Plants grow best in part shade but are adaptable to all light levels, as well as most soil types, including clay. Cut tired foliage back when flowering has finished to promote a second round of blooms. Divide in autumn or spring. Often re-seeds & spreads a bit--transplant seedlings as you find them.
