Amend the planting area with compost to enrich the soil and improve drainage.
To avoid self-seeding the plants can be cut back after flowering prior to seed setting to prevent the plant from becoming out of control. Water regularly. Divide in early spring or summer every 3-4 years to maintain the health of your plants.
It is possible to propagate Rumex by seed at any time of the year
