Planting Outdoors
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Plant about 4 inches deep into flowering position either directly into the soil or in containers. They must be planted out in a sheltered sunny spot.
Flowering Season
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
A pretty flower that come in colours ranging from white to pink with darker throats on wiry stems.
Propagating by division
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Once the plants have established, they should start multiplying. Once reasonable sized clumps start forming, they can be divided, when the foliage dies back. Using a fork dig up plant, try to keep the root ball as complete as possible. Remove any offsets to re-plant. Split the root ball at the center with a sharp knife or a spade.In mild Winter areas, replant the plants to the same depth as the original and keep well watered until established. In cooler climes, plant in pots for over-wintering in a cool, dry, frost-free place.
