Site Preparation: Clear the area of weeds and grass; lightly cultivate soil to create a fine tilth. Planting Time: Best planted in early spring or late autumn when soil is workable and moisture levels are adequate. Planting Density: Space plugs 20–30cm apart to allow plants to mature and create a continuous spring bloom. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and maintain soil moisture until plugs are established. Maintenance: Cut back after flowering to allow self-seeding and encourage vigorous regrowth in subsequent years. Avoid removing all flower heads if seeds are required for wildlife.
