Good drainage matters most, especially in winter. Avoid wet, heavy spots. Water regularly in the first season and during dry spells after that. Deadhead or lightly shear spent flowers to encourage more bloom. Leave the stems over winter and clean the plant up in early spring as new growth starts. In the colder parts of zone 5, choose a sheltered, well-drained spot. Divide every few years in spring if the centre starts to thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e UpTick™ Gold is part of the UpTick™ series from Darwin Perennials, bred for a compact, mounded habit, larger flowers and a longer flowering season.
