Forestiera angustifolia Grows best in a sunny position in a well-drained soil that can be dry.
Propagation
Seed - we have no information on this species but suggest sowing the seed as soon as it is ripe in the autumn or in late winter in a cold frame. When they are 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 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. Cuttings of mature wood, late autumn to late winter in a frame or sheltered outdoor bed.
