2. Location: Choose a sunny to partly shaded site with consistently moist, fertile soil.

3. Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and the same depth.

4. Planting: Remove the plant from its pot, gently loosen roots, and place in the hole with the crown level to the soil surface.

5. Backfill: Refill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.

6. Spacing: Plant 24–36 inches apart to allow for mature spread.

7. Aftercare: Water regularly during the first season. Mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Cut stems back to the ground in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges.
