I don't think of anything special. I grow it in mostly shade (though oaks 
leaf out late) with woodland wild flowers. It seems pretty sad in spring but 
recovers. It gets a natural cover of oak leaves for the winter and probably 
need only a partial uncover in the spring. Can't say it multiplies very 
fast. Also we have had pretty mild winters lately. Haven't been to the 
Arboretum lately so can't report on that but last I saw it it was in quite a 
bit of shade and almost like a ground cover. Can't think of anything to add.
