Give it a spot in full sun to part shade. In hotter climates, a little afternoon shade can help the foliage stay fresher. Plant in average to fertile, well-drained soil; once established it handles normal garden moisture, but it appreciates occasional deep watering during extended dry spells. Good air movement and avoiding constantly wet soil help keep growth sturdy and healthy.

For a clean look, remove spent flower spikes after bloom, or leave some seed heads if you want a more natural feel and the chance of volunteer seedlings. Cut stems back after flowering or at the end of the season. Pair it with other sun-friendly natives and perennials for a layered, long-lasting display, and enjoy how its white blooms lift nearby colors.
