Where to grow Japanese Windflower

Soil & planting
Japanese Windflower does best in free-draining and clay soil. Dig in plenty of compost before planting, water in well, and mulch to keep roots cool.
Watering & feeding
Japanese Windflower is regular, moderate watering. A feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser keeps growth strong. In its first year, water deeply once or twice a week to settle the roots in, then taper off as it establishes.
Pruning & care
Prune Japanese Windflower after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Overall it is low maintenance.
Using Japanese Windflower in the garden
Japanese Windflower earns its place for feeding bees and pollinators, cut flowers for the vase and a feature or specimen planting.
Companion planting & design
For a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Japanese Windflower with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and cool-temperate climate. Group three or five together for impact rather than dotting single plants through the garden.
