Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This plant requires at least 6 hours of direct sun to maintain its signature dark foliage and produce the best bloom count. While it can tolerate partial shade, the leaf color will shift toward green and you will notice significantly fewer flowers throughout the season.
  • Soil: Aim for rich, organic soil that retains moisture well without becoming a swamp. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in aged compost at planting time to improve the structure and provide the nutrients needed for such large flowers.

Watering Requirements

During the first two growing seasons, keep the soil consistently moist to help the deep root system establish itself. Mature plants are quite resilient, but inconsistent watering or allowing the soil to dry out completely will cause the plant to drop its flower buds prematurely. Think of this plant as a thirsty athlete that needs a steady supply of hydration to perform its best during the heat of summer.

Pruning Tips

This variety blooms on new wood, so the best time to prune is in late spring once you see new growth emerging from the crown. Cut the previous year's woody stems down to about 4 or 6 inches above the ground to make way for the vigorous new stalks. Because this plant is a late riser that waits for warm soil to wake up, this pruning serves as a helpful reset for the new season.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in late spring as soon as you see the first few inches of green growth popping up from the soil. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers after mid summer because this encourages tender new growth that cannot harden off before the first frost. This late season soft growth is often the primary cause of winter dieback or unnecessary plant stress.
