Die Pflanzen wachsen an schattigen Stellen und vertragen die meisten Böden. Ein sandiger, torfiger Boden ist bevorzugt. Ist die Pflanze einmal etabliert, möchte sie nicht gestört werden.
Vermehrung ist durch Samen oder Teilung, aber Samen ist zuverlässiger. Die beste Pflanzzeit ist im Oktober oder von März bis April.
