Time to divide plants: September to March

The plant is short enough not to need staking, and does not spread so fast that frequent division is necessary, making it a very easy-care plant. Use it between other plants in a flower border, as it tolerates light shade, to extend the flowering season late into the year.

Looks good with:
Aster x frikartii 'Monch'
Verbena bonariensis
