Light: Thrives in part to full shade, but can handle morning sun in cooler climates.
Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil with organic matter. Moist but not soggy is the key to its happiness.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during active growth and blooming periods, but avoid waterlogged roots.
Fertilizer: A light feeding in early spring will encourage vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
Maintenance: Snip off spent flowers after blooming to encourage fresh growth. Divide every 2-3 years in the fall to keep the plant healthy and full.
Hardiness: Hardy to USDA zones 5, it withstands cold winters and returns year after year with renewed vigor.
