Growth—

We have almost no information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in this country. It probably prefers a sunny well-drained position and a limy soil or at least one that is not acid^[1].

Propagation

Seed - sow in situ as soon as the seed is ripe in the late summer. The seed can also be sown in situ in late spring^[1]. Germination usually takes place within 3 weeks^[2].
