- Mass Planting
- Border Edging
- General Garden Use
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing:

It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.

Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!
This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water.
