Pacific enchanter's nightshade is a shade-loving woodland perennial that prefers consistently moist, humus-rich soils. It naturalizes well in shaded garden beds or woodland borders where competition from taller plants is limited. Avoid dry or compacted soils, and water regularly during dry spells to keep foliage looking its best.
