Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Provide well drained soil, rich in organic matter. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch.
Design Ideas
Plant this perennial where its off season blossoms will grace shaded and woodland landscapes. Plant under trees in small clusters to add size and drama. Also fits into Asian-inspired landscapes under Japanese Maple and clipped Japanese Black Pine. A must for anyone with large old trees, under which few other plants will thrive.
