Plants seem to grow in a wide variety of soil types but preferably in a light well-drained soil, and additional compost will even bring better results. Plants can readily be grown from seeds or propagated from cuttings, in the latter with the help of a rooting hormone.

Plants make a lovely display if planted between other evergreen groundcovers, which complement their winter recession. They can be used successfully to line pathways or a shrub border. Old or dead stems need to be removed immediately to neaten the plant and encourage new growth.
