Ideal For:

Planting and Care Instructions:

• Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter but tolerates poorer conditions. Avoid overly dry or sandy soils.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially in the first year, but avoid waterlogging. Established plants are more drought-tolerant.

• Sun Exposure: Grows best in partial shade to full sun; in hotter climates, afternoon shade prevents leaf scorch.

• Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to accommodate their spreading habit. Consider containers or barriers to manage vigorous growth.

• Safety Note: Wear gloves when handling due to stinging hairs; cooking or drying neutralizes the sting.
