Divide clumps every 4-5 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor and propagate new plants.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 3-4 feet apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Water regularly until established.
