Growing Instructions Plant in moist, fertile, acid or neutral soil with plenty of well-rotted organic matter. Position in sun or semi-shade, ensuring roots remain in moist soil but avoid full submersion. Water to maintain consistently moist conditions. Mulch around the base in spring to retain moisture.
