Forms a low tufted mound, perfect at pond's edge, in dappled shade borders or as a container accent. Evergreen in mild winter areas.

Water regularly in first growing season to establish root system; once established, maintain evenly moist soil. Old, faded foliage may be gently raked to remove. Prune very lightly just before new growth emerges in spring.
