Cult. The species are generally strong coarse plants, of no 
beauty. They grow well in common garden soil, but prefer 
peat, and a moist situation; and they are readily increased by 
dividing at the root in spring. All of them, except C. Cana- 
dénsis, require protection in severe frosts, by covering them over 
with haulm of other herbs, or by mulching them with horse litter.
