Full sun or a position with afternoon shade in the summer. Prefers rich, moist, well drained, acidic soils. ‘Sibirica’ is quite tolerant of very wet growing conditions, making it quite adaptable to most garden settings. It is recommended to cut back right to the ground every few years to promote fresh growth.
