    • Treatment
      âś… Do:

      Plant in full sun for maximum flowering.

      Use as border plant, mass planting, or erosion control.

      Divide clumps regularly to encourage healthy growth.

      Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

      ❌ Don’t:

      Don’t overwater — crowns can rot in poorly drained soil.

      Don’t plant in deep shade — reduces flowering.

      Don’t ignore pest infestations; they spread quickly.

      Don’t let clumps become overcrowded — division is necessary for best blooms.
