Part shade is ideal. Takes full sun with steady moisture, and full shade with a little less color.
Keep evenly moist the first season. Established plants handle short dry spells.
Plant in spring or fall, crown at soil level, in soil with some organic matter.
A little compost in spring.
It is semi-evergreen. In early spring, rake out brown leaves with your fingers or trim the whole clump to a few inches if it looks rough.
Holds its leaves through mild winters. Fresh growth in spring; looks good from April through December.
Leaf tips brown in hot, dry sun. Winter wind can scorch it in zone 5; give it a sheltered spot there.
Why we stock it: Bright, low, evergreen-ish texture that works in sun or shade and in containers.
That's everything we know about growing it. Thanks for reading.
