Cultivation Details

HabitEvergreen Shrub
Growth—

Requires a good, well-drained soil with plenty of moisture in the growing season. Of rapid growth when young, the plant soon becomes tall and without leaves below. Shortening the leading shoots in the growing season will encourage the plant to branch and counteract its tendency to become bare below.
