Grow in a fertile, neutral soil in light or partial shade, and ensure good drainage, especially in heavy soils. The woody rootstock tends to lift out of the ground over time, so mulch annually to retain moisture. Divide and replant every 3-4 years to maintain vigour
Propagate by division in autumn. As this plant is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights, any propagation should be for personal rather than commercial use
