PLANTING GUIDE
Soil: Evenly moist soil, rich in organic matter. Does not tolerate dry conditions.
Light: Grows well in morning sun to full shade, in all but the driest of spots. In hot afternoon sun, it will need moist soil or the leaves will burn, but in the shade occasional water is sufficient.
Water: Moderate, prefers even moisture.
Spacing: 24" apart.
Fertilizing: Grow in well-drained soil that is moderately fertile and humus-rich. We do not recommend fertilizing at planting time, or during the first growing season. If desired, a light scattering of slow release fertilizer in spring should be sufficient for annual maintenance.
Winterizing: Keep old foliage over winter to protect crowns and cut back in early spring.
Maintenance & pruning: If foliage turns black or gets crispy and brown on the edges, this indicates it is in too much sun. It can survive, but will look unsightly and should be moved. .Reviews
