Description

Easily grown in average, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. Tolerates full shade. Prefers moist organically rich soils in part shade. Tends to spread more rapidly in moist, shady conditions. Survives being mowed in a lawn. Propagate by seed or division.

‘Buttered Popcorn’ has best color in sun to part shade (leaf color more golden in sun and more green in shade).

Excellent ground cover for large sections of naturalized areas, particularly in moist conditions where many other types of ground cover will not thrive. Pond peripheries. Because of invasive tendencies, caution should be exercised in planting this perennial in the landscape.  ‘Buttered Popcorn’ can be agressive, but less so than the species.
