Butterbur thrives in moist, partly shaded spots such as stream banks or bog gardens and appreciates consistently damp soil. It is a vigorous spreader, so plant it where its large, architectural leaves have room to roam or contain it with a root barrier. Minimal feeding is needed — a light mulch in spring is sufficient to keep it healthy.
