It will easily grow in any rich, yet well drained soil in full sun to partial shade in the open garden. A very easy and adoptable species.
Sow from autumn to late spring in any rather sandy soil in a partially shaded place. Will germinate in early summer. Transplant dormant rhizomes in either autumn or early spring.
Please note, that all parts are poisonous if swollen.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6.
