Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. During the growing season, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be applied to support healthy growth. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect the plant during winter months. Regularly divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding and to rejuvenate the plant's vigor.
