Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers organically rich, consistently moist, cool locations in part to full shade. Protection from the hot, afternoon sun in the south is essential to prevent wilting. Divide plants in spring or after flowering. Cut foliage back in fall, spent flower stalks can be removed or left as the seadheads are attractive to birds.
