Propagation Methods

It is primarily propagated by division. Simply dig up the plant in spring or autumn, divide the roots, and replant. It is generally recommended to divide the plant every 2 to 3 years.

Cultivation Methods
 - Soil: Use well-draining soil, but an environment that maintains constant moisture is suitable. It is ideal for planting near water or ponds.
