Use
Types of use: Beautifully enhances the front of flower beds, borders, sunny rock gardens, as well as arrangements in containers on the terrace or balcony.
Decorative advantages: Creates a striking visual impact thanks to its warm color contrast and maintains a spectacular effect from early summer until the first frosts.
Maintenance
Watering: Water regularly after planting to promote root establishment. Reduce watering afterwards, as this plant prefers rather dry soils and dreads excess moisture.
Fertilization: Avoid overly rich fertilizers that stimulate foliage at the expense of flowers. Apply a light compost in spring if necessary.
Pruning: Remove faded flowers regularly to stimulate new buds and prolong the display. Cut back the foliage to a few centimeters above the ground in autumn or early spring.
Planting: Space plants 30 cm apart to ensure good air circulation. Plant in a hole corresponding to the size of the root ball, taking care not to bury the crown.
