Habitat: Semi-evergreen shrub. Prefers moist, rich, slightly acidic humusy soils in partial sun to partial shade, but tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and pHs. Best flowering occurs with 4 hours of sun per day. It can form dense colonies by root suckering and can be used for erosion control in wet areas or on wet banks. This plant blooms on previous season's wood, so pruning should be done after flowering. Use en masse for spectacular spring flowers. Common in the coastal plain; rare in the outer piedmont.
Wildlife Value: Flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators. Seeds are eaten by songbirds.
