Of doubtful hardyness in most of Britain, but one report says that it succeeds outdoors in S. Cornwall[1] whilst other reports say that it might be hardy on a south or southwest facing wall in the mildest areas of this country[11, 166, 182, 188]. So long as the plant is well mulched it resprouts freely from the base if cut back by severe weather[200].
A very ornamental plant[1], the cut flowers last well in water[200].
Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200].
Any pruning is best done after flowering[200].
An excellent plant for bees and butterflies.
Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
