• Sunlight: Plant 'Ice Dance' in a location that receives partial shade to full sun. It tolerates a range of light conditions but prefers some shade, especially during the hottest part of the day.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods or when the soil feels dry to the touch. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Soil: 'Ice Dance' prefers moist, well-draining soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay or loamy soil.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate dosage.
• Pruning: Trim back any dead or faded foliage to maintain a neat appearance. Every few years, consider rejuvenating the plant by cutting it back to encourage fresh growth.
• Division: If the clump becomes crowded, divide 'Ice Dance' every few years in spring to maintain its vigor. This can also help create additional plants for other areas of the garden.
• Winter Care: 'Ice Dance' is generally hardy. In colder regions, a layer of mulch around the base of the plant can help protect the roots from extreme temperatures.
