This species is well-suited for rock gardens, borders, or cottage gardens. Ensure well-draining soil, as it does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Provide full sun for best flowering. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage further flowering. It is generally a low-maintenance plant once established.
