Care instructions
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Will tolerate full shade if soil is moist. The best leaf colour is achieved when grown in partial shade. Will tolerate full shade. Cut off any tatty leaves in early spring to make room for the vibrant new foliage which will fill in quickly. Lift and divide large clumps in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil.
