Care:
Water this easy-going plant around once a week or slightly more as it first gets established. Then, in years to follow, water less regularly. This plant prefers moist soil with a neutral pH and excellent drainage, but it will not keep you to a hard-and-fast schedule for watering. If there are small periods of drought, it can handle itself well. Just be sure to plant it in a shady spot or a place with dappled sunlight. Shear spent blooms, but do not take time on pruning.
