Cultivation Notes:  An easily grown plant, it tolerates most soils but prefers a moist well-drained fertile humus-rich soil with shade from the early morning sun when grown in areas with late frosts[11, 200]. Prefers a sunny sheltered position, it can be grown on a woodland edge[184]. Tolerates a limey soil[11]. Dormant plants are hardy to about -20°c[184]. The young growth, however, is subject to damage by late frosts and so a suitable position with shelter from early morning spring sunshine is best. A very ornamental plant[1], it is the best and most reliable species in this genus for growing in Britain[11]. A number of cultivars have been developed for their ornamental value[182]. Flowers are produced on the previous seasons wood[182]. Flowering can be increased by thinning the old shoots after flowering[188]. A very polymorphic plant[58]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
