| Maintenance | The maintenance of this plant can be rather easy and can be treated like most perennials, which is cutting off the dead foliage in the fall when the plant is going dormant. Another way I like, is too clean the plant up after bloom. Cut off the long flower scapes and remove any dead foliage. Cut it back in a fan shape 4-6 inch above the ground.. It will regrow and fill in with fresh foliage (hardiness zone #5). At this time it is forming new roots and is a good time to fertilize |
| Propagation | division in late summer early fall is best, can be divided in the spring |
