Information given is based on cultivation in coastal mid-Norway. It's growing in full sun and in fairly well-drained, acidic soil. As the plant grows, the spread will become wider. Spread figure is given on basis of one root "eye".

Seed propagation is slow. Seeds must be planted when harvested (around July when pod turns pale and will fall off) and undergo winter freezing in the soil before sprouting the next or even later years. The first few years it will have one small leaf as the rhizome grows. In later years, it will produce three leaves for a few years before flowering around the seventh year.
