Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall in moist to average, well-drained soil with organic matter. Space 12–18 inches apart for a groundcover effect. Water thoroughly after planting.

Care Tips

Water regularly after planting; tolerates moderate drought in shade once established. Shear or mow the planting to a few inches in early spring to remove old foliage before fresh growth emerges. No fertilization needed. Rarely troubled by pests or disease.
