Combine with the big, bold foliage and blooms of Hosta, Coral Bells, Hydrangea, Rhododendron, Elephant Ears, and Japanese Aralia. For an Asian theme, design with mixed Azaleas, Heavenly Bamboo, Dogwood, Japanese Maples, Peony, Iris and Gardenia. |
Care | Provide organically rich, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Prune lightly to shape and feed with an acid fertilizer after flowering. |
