Growing & Maintenance Tips
General culture for growing is a moist, shady or partially shaded area. They can tolerate morning sun, but tend to burn in afternoon sun. Organically rich, moist, well-drained soil is needed. Well-drained soil is important to prevent rotting of the roots during the winter months. Great plant for en masse or as a specimen.
