Plant in partial to full shade in virtually any soil. The plant is very undemanding and needs little attention. Apply a layer of compost in spring. Watering is rarely needed except in extreme drought. Plant 5 per square metre for quick coverage.
Trim the edges in early spring if needed to direct growth. For overgrown patches, you can mow the whole area short — the plant regrows quickly. No further pruning is necessary.
