It looks great in mass plantings under trees or large shrubs for a woodland effect. Leaves, stems and roots are poisonous

Make sure ponds and water features aren't leaking, splash out is minimized, and water for streams and waterfalls is recirculated.
Keeping water surface areas small and partially shaded will also reduce evaporation.
