• Garden care: Support with brushwood or link stakes in late spring before the flowers appear. After flowering cut back the faded stems to the ground to encourage new growth from the base of the plant. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the plant in early spring.
