Description
Best grown in moist, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates some light shade. Best performance is in cold winter climates with cool summers. Site in areas with good air circulation to help rid the dense foliage of moisture. Somewhat intolerant of urban stresses such as air pollutants and salt spray. Plants struggle somewhat in areas with high heat and humidity. In such areas they benefit from afternoon shade. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
