Here some of our most beautiful clumps are in fields that are mowed for hay
every year. They grow mostly in the open sun or at the edge of woods.

Seaweed is a good fertilizer applied around the plants but as a possible
leaf spot control it has to be sprayed to get the leaf contact. If you
can't find Maxicrop locally (it's packaged in the Chicage area of Norwegian
seaweed) you can order either liquid or powder from:
Bozeman Bio-tech

They have a great catalog of natural garden products.
