Avoid too alkaline soils.....if slightly chlorotic spray a couple of times with epsom salts. Watch out for slugs and snails in early spring. Some goodness incorporated at planting time plus a handful of fish blood and bone every spring. Deadhead asap when spikes deteriorate.....the emergy then immediately goes into a further flush of flowers. After flowering is over in about mid summer, when second flush is over, cut back hard and feed. Then watch out for snails at this time. Look forward to flowers again in August or September :)

Thank you so much, I guess I should invest in a soil tester!
