Planting and care

It is preferable to cut back the old foliage to ground level at the end of winter, before the appearance of the flowers and new leaves, in order to prevent black spot disease and to preserve the plant's brightness. It adapts to any spreading soil, even clayey, preferably without limestone. The start date of the flowering, highly variable from one region to another, spreads from February to April.
