Site Preparation: Remove weeds and debris; rake soil to a fine tilth for optimum plug establishment. Planting Time: Best planted in spring for summer flowering; early planting ensures full seasonal impact. Planting Density: Plant plugs 20–30cm apart depending on coverage and design. Watering: Water thoroughly at planting; maintain soil moisture until plants are established. Maintenance: Cut back after flowering to encourage reseeding and maintain diversity. Avoid over-mowing to support pollinators.
