Planting & Care Plant rhizomes in rich, compost‑enriched soil with good drainage. Position in full sun for maximum flowering, and water generously during hot spells. Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer to sustain lush foliage and continuous blooms. Remove spent flowers to encourage fresh spikes and maintain a tidy display. Protect rhizomes with mulch in colder months to conserve moisture and shield from temperature dips.
