Growth—

Judging by its native habitat the plant should be very wind resistant and probably requires a light to medium well-drained soil in a sunny position.

Propagation

Seed - we have no details for this species but suggest sowing the seed in spring in a greenhouse. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
