full sun

well-drained
Notes:
Purchase 2019 and repotted the following year with saxifrage companions to keep roots cool (but the companion plants died from the root ?weevil). Profuse flowering over a long season – perfect for my potted garden.
Spring 2021 Wanted to take this with me when I move so had to uproot from resident container. Potted on in fresh compost, fed and watered – fingers crossed it will survive the disturbance.
Pruning:
Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring. Trim all remaining stems to strong buds. Deadhead to encourage more flowers later in the season
