- Soil: It grows best in well-drained soil. A pH close to neutral is preferred.

Propagation Methods
- Seed Propagation: It can be propagated by sowing seeds in the spring. In this case, it is recommended to let the seeds go through a cold winter to increase the germination rate.
- Division: It can be propagated by dividing the roots in spring or autumn. This is the most common method of propagation.

Cultivation Methods
