Tolerant of most conditions, spreads sideways through the soil, keep it watered after you've planted it. You can put it in the garden or in a pot, sun, some shade.

Can be rather invasive if it likes the situation.

It really is a super plant. Looks equally good all year round. Seems very much in vogue with gardeners at the moment, and deservedly. Mine propogates quite well from side pieces taken off.
