Growing Tips

Plant in shade or partial shade with moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Mulch annually to retain moisture and provide nutrients. Water regularly, particularly during dry spells. Remove old fronds in early spring before new growth emerges. Divide large clumps in spring if desired.

Looks Great With

Pair with Hosta, Brunnera, and Astilbe for textural contrast. Combines beautifully with Heuchera, Tiarella, and spring bulbs like Narcissus and Erythronium.
