Family:  Datiscaceae
Author:  L.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1.8   Mature Width:  1

Habitat:  Banks of streams in rich alluvial soils[50, 200].

Propagation Notes: Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse, only just covering the seed. Germination usually takes place within 1 - 3 weeks at 18°c[164]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division in the spring. Very easy, larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
