It prefers shaded or partial shade positions but is also suitable for growing in the sun. It loves fresh soil rich in organic substance. In summer, it dries up to be reborn at the beginning of autumn. Rustic plant that tolerates frosts down to -18°/-20° c. Ideal use for creating informal borders or for covering slopes or flowerbeds. Also excellent for decorating gardens without water, as it dries out in summer and is then reborn at the beginning of autumn.
