Notas de cultivo
Appreciates at least some sun along the coast in areas with marine influence, but flips as you move inland, wanting more shade to protect it from scorching. If grown in coastal shade this plant becomes significantly more drought tolerant.
Doesn't do well when you push into inland areas with prevailing dry desert air and very low humidity.
While this plant is quite hardy, the foliage will die back with a hard frost, recovering from rhizomes quickly when spring warmth returns. It can also be pruned back hard in late winter to keep it tidy.
Unfortunately snails and slugs love this plant. Mulch with corse bark and try to keep it on the drier side to prevent this unsightly damage.
In colder zones adding a thick layer of mulch will help this plant overwinter.
Interés especial
This plant may have been farmed by the Maori of New Zealand as it is often found near old homesteads and the rhizomes are edible.
