This no-maintenance plant has average watering requirements. It will bring beauty to your garden for years as long as it is planted in well-draining soil. Deadheading the spent flowers will prevent the plant from producing seeds and spreading.
You can divide these plants every 2 to 3 years to help promote healthier and better looking plants. Fertilizing is not required, but if you choose to, do so in the spring.

Space individual plants 40 to 44 inches apart to avoid crowding them at maturity.
