Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: Mature Width: Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it could succeed outdoors at least in the milder parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Prefers a warm moist loamy soil and light shade but it is by no means fastidious, succeeding in thin, dry and shallow soils[11, 200].
Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[1].
Plants can be pruned back quite severely, they resprout well from the base[200].
