Description and Growing Information
Flowering Period
| Cultivation |
| Grow in partial or full shade in any fertile soil that has been enriched with well-rotted organic manure. A pH of 6-7 is preferred, and a continuous supply of moisture is critical for optimum performance. |
| Pests |
| Snails and slugs are the primary pests, and rabbits and deer may be a problem as well. |
| Habitat |
| Horticultural origin. |
| Notable Specimens |
| Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington, Ontario, Canada. |
| Propagation |
| Propagate through division of clumps, although clumps should be left undisturbed for at least 3 years in order to allow the leaves to reach maturity. Plant in spring or (in areas with milder winters) autumn, allowing the roots to soak overnight in a weak solution of liquid fertilizer first. |
