These great plants will naturalise and remain green all year. They are suited to cooler climates and can handle frosts, but will grow in the right position anywhere but in the tropics. To grow the rhizome, plant only 5cm deep and 30cm apart, in well drained soil. Water well to establish. Plant with blood and bone or complete fertiliser and apply a high nitrogen fertiliser in early spring. They flower very late in spring; November & December.
