Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers well-drained, sandy loam with consistent moisture and full sun to partial shade. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and some drought. Spreads quickly by rhizomes and can become weedy, spreads less invasively in poor, lean soil. Plants can be pruned back each year in late winter-early spring, excess growth can also be trimmed through the year.
