Light. It can take a sunny site but prefers shade, and it can melt out in hot weather. A spot with afternoon shade suits it best in South Florida.
Water. Water regularly while it settles in, then during dry spells. It is moderately drought tolerant once established.
Soil and feeding. Grows in sand, clay or loam, acidic or alkaline, as long as it drains well.
Size. Grows about 1–1.5 ft tall and 1–2 ft wide, spreading slowly by rhizomes. Space plants 12–18 inches apart.
Problems to watch. No serious pests or diseases are usually seen. Grasshoppers occasionally chew the leaves.
Good to know. Small purple flower spikes in summer are followed by blue-black berries. It is moderately tolerant of salt spray but does not take foot traffic.
