    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    Grow in part to full shade. Tolerates full sun with sufficient moisture.  Prefers acidic, rich soil with constant moisture but adapts in less favorable conditions.  Grows well in wet areas, near streams or ponds.  May be slow to get established but plants are very long-lived.
