Cultivation Notes: Prefers a moist but not boggy humus rich soil in shade or semi-shade[11, 182]. A peat and moisture loving species, it requires a lime-free soil[11, 182]. An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most situations[182]. This species is often confused with G. pyroloides[11] and G. pyrolifolia[182]. It was mistakenly originally included in G. pyroloides though it is in fact quite distinct and is closely related to G. cuneata[11, 182]. A very ornamental plant[11]. The flowers are scented[245]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
