Farfugium japonicum v.24

Farfugium japonicum plants do best in partial to full shade and in organically rich soil that stays moist. They do not do well in full sun or when exposed to strong winds. The more sunlight they receive, the more water they willl need. Aside from ensuring consistent moisture, these plants have minimal care requirements. Plant requires a rich, humus heavy soil that is consistently moist, even wet. These shade perennials get pretty thirsty, therefore they are good wet area plants. In the absence of frequent rain, they need irrigation on an ongoing basis. If planted in rich, humus heavy soil, plants do not require any feeding but they benefit from a thick layer of organic matter, applied in the spring.
