Herb-paris thrives in cool, shaded woodland conditions with consistently moist, humus-rich soil, making it best suited for a shaded garden border or woodland garden. It requires patience as it grows slowly from rhizomes and dislikes root disturbance. All parts of this plant are toxic, so handle with care and keep away from children and pets.
