Your care routine
Watering
Water carefully while establishing. Thereafter allow the surface to dry; never keep the crown in saturated soil.
Soil & drainage
Exceptionally well-drained soil. Avoid a rich, wet planting hole that holds winter rain.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Surface sow with warmth and bright light. Plant sturdy seedlings into an open, sunny position.
Harvest
Snip flowering stems once buds colour, or leave them for pollinators. Avoid cutting deeply into woody branches.
Through the seasons
Trim lightly after bloom while green leafy growth remains. Protect young plants and container roots from prolonged wet cold.
When your plant needs help
- Give developing flower spikes sun and airflow; keep the root zone freely drained.
