Cultivation & Care
- Sunlight: They thrive in full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight is recommended for the best double blossoms). [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Soil: Plant in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Ensure the crown (where roots meet the stem) is planted no more than 1 inch below the surface to prevent rotting. [1, 2]
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the peak growing and blooming seasons. [1]
- Maintenance: While individual blooms last only a day, the plant will produce numerous buds. Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years after blooming to encourage vigorous growth and flower production. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
