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.
