Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Aim for a spot that gets about 4 to 6 hours of direct sun, ideally in the morning. In hotter climates (Zones 7-8), partial shade or protection from the harsh afternoon sun is crucial to prevent the foliage and delicate blooms from scorching.
  • Soil: These perennials love rich, loose soil that drains well but still holds some moisture, similar to a woodland floor. If you are working with heavy clay, mix in compost to improve drainage and prevent root rot, while sandy soils need organic matter to help retain the moisture these plants crave.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy, especially during the first growing season while the roots establish. Once settled, they can handle brief dry spells, but inconsistent watering often leads to drooping leaves and crispy brown edges. A 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch is excellent for retaining soil moisture and keeping the roots cool.

Pruning Tips

Wait until early spring to cut the old foliage back to the ground, just before the new green growth begins to poke through the soil. Since September Charm blooms on new wood, clearing away the previous year's debris gives the fresh stems plenty of space and airflow to develop strong flower stalks. Think of it as clearing the stage before the main performance begins in late summer.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a layer of compost in early spring when new growth appears to fuel the season's foliage and flowers. Avoid heavy nitrogen applications late in the summer, as this pushes tender new growth that won't survive the first frost and diverts energy away from blooming.
