Hardy Perennial. Needs full sun with well-drained soil, if soil is heavy mix in some sharp sand. Plant in a sheltered site to protect from wind, with the protruding centre piece facing upwards.

Once the plant starts to grow look out for snails hiding in the early foliage as they can, if allowed, nibble through the stem.
