Thrives in full sun to full shade. In warmer climates, it should be planted in partial to full shade. Tolerates dry shade once plants are established. Stems root into the ground readily, and the new plants that form may be easily moved to a new location in spring or early fall. Space from 8 inches to 12 inches apart.
