This cultivar typically reaches a height and spread of 1-1.5 metres, forming clumps of lush foliage topped with impressive flower spikes.

To maintain its vigour and enhance blooming, deadhead spent flowers and apply a balanced fertiliser in spring. ‘Queen Mum’ is a low-maintenance plant once established, adding a touch of sophistication to garden borders, beds, or containers with its stunning blooms and architectural foliage.
