Planting Info:      

Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, rich soils, but has some tolerance for drought. Prefers full sun in northern climates, but needs some shade in the deep South to prevent leaf color from bleaching. Dies to the ground each winter, so stems may be pruned to the ground in autumn after a hard frost.
