Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

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

Care Tips

Water consistently after planting; once established tolerates reasonable drought in shade. Virtually no maintenance is required- trim or mow the planting to a few inches in early spring to remove old, winter-worn foliage and allow fresh growth to emerge cleanly. Divide clumps every 4–5 years if desired to spread the planting. Essentially pest- and disease-free.
