Soil:
Prefers a fertile, well-drained soil.
Aspect:
Part shade to full shade.
Maintenance:
Remove spent flowers and leaves as required. Allow plants to naturally die back in autumn before cutting leaves off at the base. Apply a layer of compost and mulch after cutting back to provide plants with nutrients, and to protect them through winter. For plants in pots, apply a liquid fertiliser throughout the growing season. Susceptible to snail and slug predation, apply baits as required.
Water Requirements:
Keep moist in the warmer months, water sparingly in winter. Will not tolerate waterlogged soil.
Seasonal Interest:
Spring to autumn foliage interest, summer flowering.
