Avoid heavy clay that stays soggy in winter. Water regularly in the first season and during dry stretches. Cut off spent flower stems at the base. In early spring, trim away any leaves damaged over winter. Mulch lightly after planting to keep frost from heaving young crowns. Divide every three or four years if the centre becomes woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Midnight' was discovered by John Pavlich as a natural sport of FOREVER® 'Purple' among tissue-culture plants at Terra Nova Nurseries in Canby, Oregon, and received its U.S. plant patent in 2025.
