It irresistibly attracts pollinators while offering excellent resistance to intense summer heat waves.

• Watering: Water regularly during the first year. Afterwards, allow the soil to dry between waterings as it dislikes stagnant humidity.
• Fertilization: Apply a granular fertilizer for perennials in early spring to support flower production.
• Pruning: Remove faded flowers regularly to stimulate the appearance of new buds. Cut back the stems to 10 cm from the ground in the fall or early spring.
• Planting: Install the plant in a clear, sunny spot in soil that does not retain water.
• Winter protection: Provide a mulch of leaves or straw to protect the crown during winters without significant snow cover.
