Growing and Maintenance Tips
Grows best in rich, loamy, moist, well-drained soil in part to full shade. If it is to be grown in full sun adequate moisture is a must! Divide clumps every 3-4 years. May be raised by seed as well. Deadhead to extend flowering season. Use as a edging plant in perennial beds or to add interest to the woodland garden.
