Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in partial or full shade, and mulch every year; the rootstock tends to push upwards, so every few years, in late summer or early autumn, divide and re-plant with only the crown above ground
Propagate by division in late summer or early autumn
No pruning required, but old leaves and flower stems may be removed to improve appearance
May be susceptible to vine weevils and leaf and bud eelworm
May be susceptible to heuchera rust
