Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in spring or autumn when the soil is workable. Avoid planting during periods of hard frost or into waterlogged ground.

Where to Plant:
Choose a position in full sun or light partial shade with well-drained soil. This collection is ideal for bold borders, prairie-style planting, modern gardens and statement containers.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant so the top of each rootball sits level with the soil surface.
• Spacing: Space plants approximately 40–60 cm (16–24 inches) apart depending on variety.
• Soil Prep: Improve soil with garden compost. In heavy soils, add grit or sharp sand to improve drainage.

Watering:
Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil lightly moist while plants establish. Once established, most varieties are relatively drought tolerant, though watering during dry periods will encourage continued flowering.

Aftercare Tips:

• Deadhead faded flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming.
• Cut back faded stems in autumn or early spring.
• Leave ornamental grass foliage standing through winter for additional interest if desired.

Top Tip:
Combine this collection with silver foliage or ornamental grasses to really highlight the rich reds and dramatic dark foliage tones.
