Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot, preparing the soil with some garden compost to give it a good start. Space plants to allow air circulation, as this helps reduce the risk of disease. Water regularly during the first season to establish roots, then cut back slightly in early spring to encourage fresh growth and abundant flowering.
Deadhead spent blooms to prolong the display and maintain a tidy appearance. Once established, this hardy perennial requires only modest attention and will happily spread, producing masses of fragrant, bright pink flowers throughout the summer.
