Care Instructions

Planting
Plant in partial shade to full shade, though it tolerates light sun. Space plants 12–18 inches apart. Ensure soil is well-draining but moisture-retentive.

Watering
Keep soil evenly moist, especially during establishment. Water when the top inch begins to dry, avoiding both drought and soggy conditions.

Pruning
Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves throughout the year. In early spring, lightly trim to refresh foliage and promote new growth.

Pest Control
Generally pest-resistant, but watch for slugs and snails in damp areas. Use organic pellets, copper tape, or natural predators if needed.

Soil Tips
Prefers rich, humus-based soil with good drainage. Apply a light layer of mulch annually to retain moisture and enrich the soil.
