Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a moist but well-drained rich sandy loam and a neutral or alkaline soil in full sun though it also tolerates partial shade[1, 200, 208]. We have seen plants doing very well on a northwest-facing wall[K]. Plants are very drought-tolerant and can be grown on a dry stone wall[200], they also succeed in poor soils[221]. Plants are hardy to at least -15°c[200]. A rampant spreading plant[188], it makes an excellent ground cover but can become a nuisance if it isn't sited with care[200]. The species in this genus do not often hybridize and so seed can generally be relied upon to come true[221]. The plants are self-fertile[221]. This species does not produce seed very freely in Britain, but it is very easily propagated by division[221]. There are several named forms selected for their ornamental value[200]. The form 'E.K.Toogood' is less invasive[197]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233].
