About This Plant

An ornamental perennial valued for its seasonal flower display and the role it plays in the garden border.

Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Provide consistent moisture during establishment. Cut back in late fall or early spring.

Care Notes

Humus-rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. Provide afternoon shade, especially at the PNW coast; lacy-leaved dissectum types need extra shelter from wind. Prune lightly in late winter for structure; avoid heavy cuts. Watch for verticillium wilt (sterilize tools between cuts), aphids, and pseudomonas tip dieback in wet springs.
