Habitat:  Not known



Cultivation Notes:  An easily grown shrub, it thrives in any good garden soil[11] including heavy clays. Prefers a semi-shaded woodland position in a damp, slightly acid to neutral humus-rich soil[200]. Plants are not very hardy in Britain, they do not succeed at Kew Gardens, but should succeed in a sheltered position in the milder areas of the country[11]. The young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. Plants are very tolerant of pruning and can be cut right back into old wood if they have outgrown their welcome[182]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus. The flowers are very sweetly scented[184]. Due to their habit of flowering in late autumn, fruits are rarely formed in Britain[11].
