Rich, moist, well-draining loamy soil; tolerates heavy clay if consistently wet.
Keep consistently moist during growth phase; reduce watering as foliage yellows in summer.
Prefers partial to full shade; direct sun scorches leaves and triggers dormancy.
Apply compost or slow-release fertilizer in early spring before flowering starts.
Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding; dig up tubers if invasive spread occurs.
