Amend the soil in the planting hole with plenty of composted manure and mix in some blood meal and bone meal as well.
Always dig the planting hole 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep, so the feeder roots will grow faster. They grow wide rather than deep.
The 'Champlain' looks wonderful in a mixed border where it will provide color all season, long after your perennials have stopped blooming, provided that you removed spent flowers as the fade.
