Growing Guide
Position
Plant in a sunny, open position where it will receive plenty of direct sunlight. Good air circulation helps maintain healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Watering
Water regularly while establishing. Once established, the plant is relatively drought tolerant, requiring additional watering only during prolonged dry spells. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm weather.
Soil
Grow in fertile, free-draining soil. It performs particularly well in sandy, chalky or gravelly soils where drainage is excellent, making it a good choice for dry borders.
Hardiness and Winter Care
Fully hardy in most Irish gardens. Good drainage during winter is essential, particularly on heavier soils. Cut back old growth before fresh shoots emerge in spring.
Routine Care
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prolong flowering. After the main display, lightly trim the plant to encourage neat, fresh growth and maintain its compact habit.
Perfect For
- Sunny perennial borders.
- Cottage and wildlife-friendly gardens.
- Gravel and Mediterranean-style planting.
- Pollinator-friendly planting schemes.
- Fresh-cut flower arrangements.
Good to Know
The silver-grey foliage remains an attractive feature even when the plant is not in flower, and its drought tolerance makes it a reliable choice once established in well-drained soil.
