Cultivation Details

HabitDeciduous Shrub
Growth—

This is a rather variable species, and several distinct varieties have been described. Most of this habit variation seems to be caused by differences in the frequency that an area is burnt, and the extent of the damage caused. Plants that are protected from fire for some years become much woodier than other ones[1].
