I have it all over my garden because it reseeds every where. I do have it in a lot of shade really dark shade and it is in a lot of leaf mold because of all the trees . Mine is up and flowering now. We had an extremely brutal winter this year and last.
Two years ago because I had so many volunteers I planted one in an area around pine trees and that one died. I think it was too dry. The Hosta do fine in that area but this plant I think likes moisture rich soil.
