Needs mostly shade with morning sun!  Not fussy as to soil, but needs to be mulched to conserve moisture.  A bit of a rambler as the rhizomes spreads out from the main plant.  It will not stay in the same place so give it room to do its thing!  Blooms September-October and grows 36" high!

There are new cultivars that are dwarf and do not move around like the standard species type!

This is one I have coming for the spring, and I also got the bright purple one....I cant tell you how much your pis are making me look forward to this coming season !!

I am planning on putting mine near our new pond...Ron does it bloom alot on one plant ? I see that one stalk you have, would that be it for the plant, or does it put out more than one stalk ? curious minds want to know...LOL

Thanks

Kym
