Growth—

Species in this genus are generally easily grown in a good well-drained loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[1, 2, 3]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[3].

Propagation

Seed - requires stratification and is best sown in early autumn in a cold frame. Stored seed requires one month stratification at about 3°c and is best sown as early as possible in the year. Prick out the seedlings when they are large enough to handle and grow on in a cold frame. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring of the following year. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, mid summer in a frame[3]. Tip layering in July. Plant out in autumn. Division in early spring or just before leaf-fall in the autumn[3].
