Site Preparation: Clear weeds and existing vegetation, then rake soil to a fine tilth for optimal plug establishment. Planting Time: Best planted from early spring to early summer for extended seasonal flowering. Planting Density: Space plugs 20–30 cm apart depending on coverage and design goals. Watering: Water well at planting and maintain moist soil until established; once settled, minimal watering is required. Maintenance: Cut back after the final flowering to encourage reseeding and next season’s growth. Avoid frequent mowing to support pollinators.
