Cultivation Details

HabitEvergreen Shrub
Growth—

Succeeds in ordinary garden soil in a sunny position[1]. Requires a well-drained deep gritty or gravelly soil, preferably of low fertility[2]. The plant can flower and bear seeds at 2 years of age and then produces seeds each year thereafter[3].

Propagation

Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse, only just covering the seed. Germination usually takes place in a few days, though there is often a high percentage of non-viable seeds[3]. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, mid summer in a frame.
