Plants perform well in full sun to partial shade, though in hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace plants 40-60cm apart for effective ground cover.

Avoid hoeing around plants as the rhizomes grow close to the surface - hand weeding is recommended. Divide congested clumps every 3-5 years in spring to rejuvenate growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGarden Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for underplanting trees and shrubs, filling difficult dry shade areas, or creating borders in cottage gardens.
