Ho, Hank. I have P. pedatisecta and P. tripartita, and grow both in the
same conditions. I cut a small bed out of turf, and planted them without
fertilizing, though a small amount of homemade compost was added to the
soil. Nothing else has been added to the bed in the 5 years since. They
are shaded in the morning, and receive full sun over noon and until
sundown. In the hottest part of summer, they must be generously watered,
usually every day or two, to prevent wilting. They do not appear to invade
areas where hostas, ferns, etc. are growing, but simply grew large enough
stands to fill out their allotted space and stopped where they met others.
Well, dwarf plants got overwhelmed by them, but Pinellia spp. are easy to
pull. They have not spread into the lawn. These are very easy plants to
grow.
