Loosen the soil and form a mound in the center with the top of the mound slightly below the level of the ground. Place the rhizome at the top of the mound and gently spread the roots downward permitting the leaf-fan to show above ground level. Place the remaining soil into the hole and tamp down around the rhizome and roots. Water thoroughly and water deeply during dry periods. Plants should be spaced 12-24 apart. Cut back the flowering stem after blooms have faded and trim foliage into a fan shape of approximately 12.
