Remember to deadhead after flowering and protect against frost-damage by covering the crown of the plant.
  
  
• Garden care: Stake with bamboo canes in spring before the flowers appear and deadhead the faded blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers. Protect young plants from slug and snail attack.
