Cultivation:
Plant in partial to full shade in moist, compost rich, well
drained soil. Space new container grown plants 8" - 18"
apart. "Foam Flower" will tolerate nearly any soil
type as long as the location is shaded and cool. A good choice for
shady rock gardens. Dislikes wet feet while dormant.
Propagation:
Seed can be started in a cold frame or greenhouse in early spring,
then planted outdoors after danger of frost has passed. For
quicker growth... purchase pre-started plants at your local Garden
Center. Once established... plants can be divided in spring.
