Give it average water and don't let it dry out completely in its first season. Avoid spots where water sits over winter. Snip spent flower stems to keep it tidy and encourage summer rebloom. Cut back old leaves in early spring. Divide in spring every few years if the clump starts to thin in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e The TEMPO™ series comes from Terra Nova® Nurseries in Oregon, bred to give avens a tighter, sturdier habit and a long bloom season.
