CARE: Provide plenty of water during the first 12 weeks or until the plant is established; water in very dry periods after that. Mulch after planting and annually to keep weeds at bay. Feed with native fertiliser during spring and summer. Remove the old flower stems in autumn and give it a tidy up.
