Growing and Maintenance Tips
This is a substantial plant that needs a large space. It grows well in average garden soil in shaded areas as long as moisture requirements can be met. It is also effective in moist woodland areas, native plant gardens, boggy areas or along streams and ponds margins where its rhizomes help stabilize the banks.
