Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells. Do not let the soil completely dry out. Applying a thick layer of organic mulch around the base will help retain soil moisture during hot US summers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFertilizing: In early spring, when new growth begins to emerge from the ground, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a side-dressing of compost to encourage lush vegetative growth and abundant blooming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePruning \u0026amp; Maintenance: This plant naturally dies back to the ground after the first hard frost in late fall. Do not prune in the fall. Wait until early spring (once you see new green shoots pushing up) to cut back the old, dead, brown stalks to just a few inches above the soil level to clear the way for fresh growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverwintering: This is a fully hardy, deciduous perennial. In Zones 5-9, leave the plant in the ground. A thick layer of organic mulch over the crown in winter will help protect the root system during the coldest months. It will reliably re-emerge from the soil in the spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/5036\/4180\/files\/3_e5881996-c859-49b3-8846-557f4099ccf2_600x600.png?v=1779434575\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(131, 125, 58);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🚚\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(19, 18, 17);\"\u003eFast Shipping for You!
