Geitonoplesium cymosum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a humus-rich loamy soil[1]. There is very little information about growing this plant in Britain but it succeeds in most soils when grown in a shady position in Australian gardens[157]. It is likely to require a sunny sheltered position in this country[K]. This species requires greenhouse protection in Britain[1]. The plants are hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157] but this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers plus our longer, colder and wetter winters. The plants produce new growth from a tuberous rootstock, and it is most likely that this root is hardier than the top-growth. It would therefore be worthwhile giving a good protective mulch to the roots over the winter to increase the chances of the plants survival[K]. A climbing plant, supporting itself by twining around the thin branches of other plants[K]. The flowers, which are borne in terminal cymes, are sweetly scented[245].
