Planting
Choose sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It can tolerate clay and some drought once established, fitting border edges, rock gardens or low ground-cover planting.
Care
Divide in spring or autumn when the clump needs reducing or has outgrown its place. Check for seedlings, as it may self-seed in suitable conditions.
