Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun to partial shade. Amend soil with compost before planting. Prevent powdery mildew by providing supplemental water through the heat of summer, but avoid overhead sprinkling. Shear back after flower spikes have faded for continued blooming. Easily divided in fall or early spring.
