Cultivation Notes: Prefers a humus-rich soil[79], succeeding in a moist border or by water[42, 79]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. The plants are very cold tolerant, but they can be damaged when dormant if the soil is too moist[79]. A very ornamental plant, there are many named varieties[187]. Plant the roots out very shallowly[79]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer or rabbits[233].
