Landscape use

  • Showy flowers make it the season's focal plant.
  • Suited to shaded conditions.

Care notes

  • Prefers part shade to shade; midday sun can scorch the leaves.
  • High water demand; the soil should not dry out.
  • Deciduous; drops its leaves in winter and renews in spring.
  • Regular watering in the first season after planting, while the plant moves from container to soil, is the most critical care step.
