Grow in fertile, moist, but well-drained soil in sun or shade. Prefers partial shade but keeps its colour in shade and, if the soil is moist, will also tolerate full sun. To prevent the rhizomes rising to the surface, mulch annually and divide every few years
Propagate by division. Lift the plant once in spring growth, taking small vigorous sections from around the edge. Each section should have good roots and 2-3 shoots
Remove dead leaves and deadhead
May be susceptible to vine weevil, especially when grown in containers
Generally disease-free
