Growing & Maintenance Tips
Partial sun and shade. Leaves can tolerate morning sun and afternoon shade, but suffer with mid-day sun. Requires good drainage and air circulation. Plants can be propagated by separating the little plants that arise from the spreading stolons at any time of the year. Divide every 2-3 years to reduce crowding.
