It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years.

Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!

This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under typical garden conditions.
