Epigaea repens Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires an open lime-free humus-rich soil and shade from direct sunlight[11, 182, 200]. Grows well in the shade of other calcifuge plants such as rhododendrons and also under pine trees[245]. A very cold-hardy plant but it is often excited into premature growth by mild winter weather and is then subject to damage by frost[11]. The flowerbuds require a period of chilling to about 2°c before they will open[200]. The flowers are deliciously and strongly scented[200] with a rich spicy perfume[245]. There are some named varieties, selected for their ornamental value[200]. A difficult plant to grow in cultivation[200] and very hard to transplant successfully[182]. Another report says that although the genus is generally difficult to cultivate, this species is relatively easy to grow[188]. For further Epigaea repens gardening information |
