Growth—

We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain. However, judging by its native range, it is likely to succeed outdoors in many areas of the country.

Propagation

Seed - sow spring in sheltered conditions and plant out in late spring. If sufficient seed is available then the seed can probably be sown outdoors in situ in the spring^[PFAF].
