Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Can be grown in a container or planted into the garden in any moist and water retentive soil with a high organic content. Requires a sheltered position, protected from strong winds, in dappled sun or partial shade. For container growing, place in a protected site, preferably with light dappled shade. For garden growing, plant in flower borders and beds or rock gardens.
