Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers humusy, consistently moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. Plants can be cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges and dead leaves removed through the year. Clumps spread by rhizomes but not invasively. Mulching is beneficial especially in cold winter climates.
