Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good loamy soil containing leaf mold[1]. Succeeds in a good open soil but if it is to thrive it needs copious rainfall, high humidity and warmer conditions than are normally found in Britain[11, 200].

They are hardy in Cornwall, southern Ireland etc[11], where they succeed in woodland gardens[166].
