Habitat:  Scrub and dry valleys, 1500 - 3000 metres in the Himalayas[184]. Also found in forests in Srinagar[145].

Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in a good well-drained loam in a sunny position[1, 200]. Tolerates light shade[202]. Tolerates most soil types, including dry soils once it is established[202]. This species is not very cold hardy, tolerating temperatures down to about -10°c[184]. It requires some protection such as a warm wall when grown outdoors in Britain[200]. There are some named varieties selected for their ornamental value[188]. The flowers are slightly scented[245]. Plants produce suckers and these can sometimes be invasive[202]. Pruning can be carried out in early to mid spring. Removing one third of the oldest growth down to ground level rejuvenates the plant and encourages greater flowering[202]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
