USDA Zones: 5 to 9
Culture: part sun (with more consistent moisture), partial shade to shade, soils with organic material or organic mulch (leaf debris), medium moist to moist, neutral or acidic. Established plants tolerate droughts, but are happier with more moisture.

Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" perennial pot
Plant Combinations: It's good to choose area sheltered from the winds. Can be combined with any half shade or shade tolerant plant like Actaea (Cimicifuga), Alchemilla, Anemone japonica, Bergenia, Brunnera, Digitalis, Epimedium, hardy Geranium, Hosta, Persicaria, Primula, Polygonatum, Salvia koyame, and grasses like Carex (both narrow and wide- leaved), Deschamspia, or Hakonechloa. Good with spring ephemerals and bigger bulbs (Narcissus).
