Care Instructions
Planting:
Plant in partial sun to shade, though some cultivars tolerate more sun in cooler climates. Space plants to allow soft mounding form.
Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Mature plants prefer consistently moist soil but tolerate brief dry periods once rooted.
Pruning:
Trim back any damaged or tired foliage in late winter or early spring. Avoid cutting back hard unless renewing older clumps.
Pest Control:
Generally pest and disease resistant. Monitor for snails or slugs in moist, shaded conditions and treat as needed.
Soil Tips:
Thrives in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and support strong root health.
