Garden use

Sunny border, edging, perennial bed, cottage garden, rock garden, naturalized planting, decorative pot, pollinator garden or cut flowers.

Very well suited for pot cultivation thanks to its compact habit and generous flowering. Use a well-drained container, light potting soil, and avoid overwatering. Water more regularly in a pot than in the ground, especially during hot periods.
