Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers partial to full shade; protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during warm weather.
• Soil: Grows best in rich, well-draining soil amended with organic matter.
• Humidity: Tolerates average outdoor humidity levels and performs well in typical garden conditions.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperate climates and performs best in conditions between 10–27°C during the growing season.
• Fertilizer: Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to support healthy foliage growth.
• Maintenance: Remove damaged or faded leaves as needed and keep mulch around the base to retain moisture.
• Pruning: Cut back spent flower stalks after blooming and trim foliage after it dies back in autumn.
• Repotting: Not typically needed in the ground, but divided every few years if clumps become overcrowded.
