This perennial does best in partial shade to shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and
shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban
pollution. This plant can be propagated by division.
This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
