This normally flowers in late May/early June but sometimes it flowers again now if we have a mild autumn

Dead easy. I got this five years ago from my local Notcutts Garden Centre. During the growing season, I remove faded flower heads. In early spring, I cut away all top growth as part of a general tidy of the garden and that's the only attention it gets
