How to Grow

Cultivation

Thrives in fertile, moist, but well-drained soil in dappled or afternoon shade. Mulch annually, and divide every few years to prevent the rhizomes rising to the surface

Propagation

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

Suggested planting locations and garden types

  • Cottage and informal garden
  • Patio and container plants
  • Flower borders and beds
  • Garden edging
  • Ground cover
  • Underplanting of roses and shrubs

Pruning

No pruning required, but old leaves and flower stems may be removed to improve appearance

Pests

May be susceptible to vine weevil, especially when grown in containers

Diseases
