Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it ould succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Requires a deep well cultivated fertile moisture-retentive soil[200]. Slightly alkaline conditions produce the best plants[238].
Unless seed is required, the plant is usually prevented from flowering so that it puts more energy into producing good quality roots[238].
A very deep-rooted plant, it can be difficult to eradicate once it is established[238].
This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200].
