Once established, it requires little maintenance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Allowing some flower heads to mature and produce seed can encourage natural regeneration and provides an opportunity for this locally sourced native to establish a continuing presence in suitable gardens.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e💧 Water (establishment note)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Water regularly during establishment while allowing the soil to drain between waterings.
