Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in shade or partial sun in well-drained soil; tolerates more sun in a moist soil. If grown as a lawn-substitute, can be mowed down to 2", up to 2-3 times during the season, but mowing is not necessary. Cut foliage to the ground in late winter. Slowly spreads over time; divide in spring or autumn, if desired.

Romance Gardens is my first choice for plants. They consistently deliver healthy good sized plants. Even their packaging is superior to all others. The only thing they could improve on would be to add a specific search feature to their website.
