Cultivation & Care Guide

• Sun/Shade: Prefers partial to full shade; protect from strong midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Soil: Moist, well-drained soils; tolerates a range of soil types but thrives in humus-rich, slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5).
• Watering: Water regularly in the first season; established plants are drought tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring for robust growth.
• Pruning: Remove faded flower spikes and tidy dead foliage in autumn.
• Pests: Watch for slugs and snails—mulch or use barriers as needed.

Design Ideas & Companion Planting

• Create dramatic ground cover beneath trees or along shaded paths.
• Add contrast by pairing with ferns, astilbes, or heucheras—plants that share similar moisture and light needs.
• Splash colour into patio pots or containers for easy shade gardening.
