Cultivation details
A herbaceous perennial with showy flowers. Prefers full sun to light shade, moist soil containing loam or silt. There should be sufficient organic material in the soil to retain moisture. Spread aggressively in moist open ground, otherwise it presents few problems. In some areas of the U.S., the species is considered to be a spreading weed. Drought tolerance is poor. Plants will grow in wet areas. The root pattern is rhizomatous with underground stems sending roots and shoots along their length [1-2].
