Growth—

We have almost no information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in many parts of the country. It is quite possibly no more than a form of L. capitatum. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in most soils.
