Light

Part shade is ideal. Full sun is fine with steady moisture; full shade dims it a little.

Water

Keep evenly moist the first season. Established plants handle short dry spells.

Planting and soil

Plant spring or fall, crown at soil level, in soil with organic matter.

Feeding

A little compost in spring.

Pruning

Semi-evergreen. In early spring, comb out brown leaves or trim to a few inches if it looks rough.

Through the year

Holds its leaves in mild winters. Fresh growth in spring; looks good most of the year.

If something's off

Leaf tips brown in hot, dry sun. In zone 5, give it shelter from winter wind.

Plays well with

Plant it with friends.
