I have it growing in my vegetable garden in full sun,and afternoon shade, and it borders on becoming invasive The plant sends out underground runners a bit like mint does. It dies down each winter. I love it for the beautiful skeletal seed cases, so I just rip it out of some areas. I tried it in pots but it quickly filled the pot with roots
