Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Plant in full sun for at least 6 hours of direct light daily to ensure the most vibrant pink spikes. While it can handle partial shade, you will likely see fewer blooms and the stems may become leggy as they stretch for light.
  • Soil: This perennial thrives in rich, well drained soil that does not stay soggy. If you have heavy clay, mix in some organic compost or plant in a raised mound to help the roots breathe and prevent rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, provide about one inch of water per week to help the root system expand. Once established, Moody Blues® Pink is quite drought tolerant and only needs extra hydration during prolonged dry spells. If the soil stays bone dry for too long, the flower spikes will stay short and the lower leaves may turn yellow and drop.

Pruning Tips

This plant blooms on new growth, so you should shear it back by half after the first flush of flowers fades. Think of it like a mid summer haircut that encourages the plant to push out a fresh round of pink spikes rather than spending energy on seeds. In late fall or early spring, cut the entire plant back to a few inches above the ground to make room for new stems.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the new green shoots emerge from the soil. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because they force soft growth that will not have time to harden off before the first frost. A single application of a general purpose plant food usually provides enough fuel for a full season of color.
