Flowering
From Early Summer TO Early Autumn
Bowl shaped 5-petalled flowers appear through Summer to Autumn
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Propagating by division
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Divide an established plant to produce more plants. Ths is best done in Spring, as growth begins. Dig up the whole plant, and pull apart into sections that should be replanted straight away. Dividing the plant every 2 or 3 years will help to maintain vigour.
