I've encouraged it with enough water to keep it happy here, and my sand is really just blow sand. It's alkaline here. It dies back and sheds it's leaves in the winter and I whack off the dead stick stems in eary spring. This is all the care it gets.

I have allowed it to overwhelm several campanula carpatica and to submerge a balloon flower that manages to climb up thru. And next spring will have to move out the two sedum spectibile. Was to late to do it this spring.
The only thing that manages to compete is my wild native four o'clock which also gets bigger each year.
