  4. Spacing: Space plants about 1.5 to 2 feet apart to allow for their mature spread.

  5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment period. Regular watering is essential for maintaining soil moisture.

  6. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

  7. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flower spikes and trim back old growth in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth.

  8. Fertilizing: Culver's Root 'Fascination' generally doesn't require heavy fertilization. A light, balanced fertilizer in spring can provide necessary nutrients.
