How to Grow:


Plant in a sunny or partially shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil. Allow some flowers to set seed if you’d like them to naturalise and return in future seasons. Taller stems may benefit from light staking in exposed areas—an easy, rewarding plant that brings height, softness, and pollinator appeal.
