Bold green foliage on long petioles and showy flowers make this a favorite in many mild climates where the ground doesn't freeze. This clone developed in England is more winter hardy and sun tolerant according to Armitage. A good poolside plant where cool, moist, and fertile soil that is well-drained exists. (See O&T, ARM) Cut back plants after the frost kills the tops. Mound 10 inches of coarse sand over the stubs. Mulch over with pine straw. As weather warms, remove this covering to allow new shoots to emerge. Given rich soil and ample water, these plants will thrive during hot summers.
