Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
A clumping, grass-like perennial from temperate East Asian woodlands, where it grows as ground cover in dappled shade. It prefers even but not waterlogged moisture; water when the top inch of mix is dry, easing off in cooler months. Bright filtered light or partial shade suits it best — strong direct sun can scorch the foliage.
