Care notes
CultivationGrow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. If the soil is moist, a shadier position may be tolerated. To prevent the rhizomes rising to the surface, mulch annually and divide every few years ensuring the crown is not buried
PruningTidy up old leaves in early spring and deadhead after flowering
PropagationPropagate by division; they need to be divided regularly. Lift the plant when in spring growth, taking small vigorous sections from around the edge. Each section should have good roots and 2-3 shoots
Pest resistanceMay be susceptible to leaf and bud eelworm and vine weevil
