For successful cultivation of our native Round-Leaved Alumroot, choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade; while it flowers best in sun, it appreciates some afternoon relief in hotter spots. This resilient plant is well-suited for rock gardens, dry slopes, and naturalized plantings common in the Nelson area and transplants easily, making it simple to incorporate into different parts of your garden. Water regularly when initially planted to help it establish; once settled, it becomes quite drought-tolerant, a valuable trait for our summer conditions, and can also thrive in containers with consistent watering. Plant in well-drained soil. To potentially encourage repeat blooms or maintain a tidier appearance, cut back the spent flower stalks after they have finished their initial flowering. Notably, its somewhat hairy foliage tends to deter deer, making it a reliable choice even in areas with browsing pressure,
