Care Instructions
Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained or poorly-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The flowers age nicely and can be left until the autumn before cutting back. This is an excellent choice for prairie planting when combined with plants of equal vigour such as Lythrum ‘Rosy Gem’ and some of the Miscanthus.
